Wikipedia has a fairly good description of Weaverville that you can access here.
Other resources include Weaverville Info, Trinity Cam and the Trinity County
Chamber of Commerce sites.
My hometown is in a quiet transition from an "old school" timber and resource
extraction economy to a more integrated "resource development" economy. In this
new economy resources can be natural, like timber and water, or they can be a bit
more intangible like history, culture and people themselves. One of our
underutilized resources here in Trinity County is the 25% allocation that our local
utility district receives from the power plant at Trinity Dam. This allocation has
allowed the district to have some of the lowest electric rates in the state and we are
always looking for opportunities to continue to utilize this latent asset.
Examples of these are the Weaverville Community Forest and Weaver Basin Trail
System which are both projects undertaken by the Trinity County Resource
Conservation District.
The Trinity County Historical Society is also a key player in the resource of history
which is an asset that continues to be nurtured and developed as an economic
engine of its own. Below is a description from Weaverville Info.
"History & Culture
Historic Weaverville California is nestled at the foot of the Trinity Alps Wilderness
Area which is home to many bear, deer, coyote and mountain lion. Founded in 1850,
Weaverville has seen boom and bust including gold mining, timber falling and some
smaller level agricultural business. Weaverville is the county seat for Trinity County,
California.
Supposedly part of the inspiration for the lost city of Shangri La in James Hilton's Lost
Horizon, Weaverville certainly fits the bill. The historic downtown has a number of
shops and galleries in addition to one of the finest historical museums in the state.
The Weaverville Joss House is a unique landmark and now a state park and is open
to the public for tours. In the spring the annual Lion Dance is held that attracts
hundreds of onlookers to see this ceremony that starts at the Joss House and moves
up the street to greet the historic district merchants for good fortune in the coming
year.
The Weaverville Basin Trail System that encompasses over 50 miles of some of the
best mountain biking and hiking in the Western US can be accessed directly from
town.
We hope you can make the journey and find a bit of your own Shangri La here."
