Foresthill, originally Forest Hill, is a beautiful mountain town
filled with rich history and breathtaking vistas.

The Forest Hill Divide Museum focuses on the history of the Foresthill and Iowa Hill Divides, including topics such as mining, geology, Native Americans, timber, and home life. The complex includes several other exhibits including a working blacksmith shop, the original Foresthill Jail, which was moved to the site, and a shed which houses a 1931 USA Fire Truck.
On your way to Foresthill, look for the Monte Verde Inn, for the remains of Butcher Ranch, Grizzly bear House, and the grave of Old Joe, a Stagecoach horse that was shot and killed by a stagecoach robber.
