ABOUT THIS SITE

Timbuctoo California was once the most thriving town in eastern Yuba County. Now it’s only the ghost of a ghost town. What happened? Why didn’t Timbuctoo survive to become a tourist destination like Placerville, Nevada City and other Gold Country towns? Timbuctoo had a roaring past, and although it doesn’t have much of a present, it just might have a future. This site is constantly evolving to add stories, images, history, and other information relating to Timbuctoo, California.
