Historic Old Shasta

If you are looking for a fun place for a day trip, discover historic Old Shasta located about 6 miles West of Redding on the way to Whiskeytown Lake.  Old Shasta is a great place for the whole family to learn some history of Northern California.  The old town features a restored courthouse (now a museum), jail, bakery, cemetary and historic ruins.  I remember back in 8th grade our class took a field trip to Old Shasta and held a mock trial in the courthouse, visited the cemetary and ate lunch on the grass of the park.  It is a great place to take family photos and many high school seniors choose to have at least one photo session here with the brick ruins as their backdrop.
