This building was built in 1849 just as the gold rush was getting started out in California. It was the barn for a hotel that used to sit just in front of the building. Abraham Lincoln and Samuel Clemens both visited the livery many years ago.
Stage actor Richard Garey faithfully recreates Mark Twain's famous "Lectures" in the Mark Twain Himself stage show.
