Established and in continuous operation since 1862, The Willow Hotel was named for trees that were growing there long before the Gold Rush began. In its heyday, The Willow hosted President McKinley, Mrs. Robert E. Lee, and “Bat” Masterson, among many others. Plagued by fires, much of the original building was destroyed in 1982, but the original redwood bar survived intact. Internationally famous for its ghosts, The Willow enriches local history and preserves a reputation for good food and drink.
