Kirkwood’s!

Bill
Kirkwoods
Landmark #40 Amador County Visited: July 12, 2015 Plaque?  YES! 🙂
What is it? Kirkwood Inn and Saloon is still open for cross-county service!
What makes it historical? THE GUIDE SAYS: Resort, stage station, and post office were originally built by Zack Kirkwood in 1864. When Alpine County was formed from Amador County, the division left the barn and milkhouse in Alpine, while the Alpine-El Dorado line went directly through the barroom of the inn.

OTHER TIDBITS: That pretty well sums it up!
How can I Help the Helpers? HERE’S HOW:

  • Eat lunch or dinner at Kirkwood’s!
