Coarsegold Historical Place in Madera County

This mountain community located at an elevation of 2,218 feet has a little bit of everything you want in a rural town. Coarsegold got its start in 1849 when “large nuggets” of gold were discovered. Although Coarsegold has gone through many transitions we honor the historic Indian culture, annual events, museum, and gold panning to name a few. Coarsegold is located on Highway 41, between Fresno and the ever-beautiful Yosemite Valley.

Coarsegold Historical Society & Museum

In the Beginning. A dedicated group of people living in Coarsegold gathered together to confirm their interest in local history. They established an agenda of regular meetings and made plans for fundraising events to support their efforts. The decision was made to incorporate as the Coarsegold Historical Society, This was accomplished on January 5, 1981.
