ROUGH & READY
Named for U.S. President Zachary Taylor, known as "Old Rough & Ready," this is the little town that made a name for itself by seceding from the Union in 1850 because residents objected to a tax on mining. The succession lasted only a few months but is remembered every June with the Annual Rough & Ready Succession Days Celebration. Rough & Ready is located a short drive west of Grass Valley and is a peaceful oasis of country living.
