Jackson, California

Vogan's Alley

Walking down Vogan's Alley to the Footbridge across the Middle Fork of Jackson Creek, here was the ford of the middling creek which natives and goldseekers used. The nearby plaque commemorates the historic spring at or near the fording spot. Across the footbridge is a monument to Jackson's first mayor, Virgilio S. Garbarini.
