Welcome to Modesto, CA, where you can experience the feel of your hometown with the amenities and attractions of a big city.  With a start that was anything but modest, Modesto was one of the wildest towns of the central valley during the California Gold Rush.  It is also home to the Mother Lode, where you can still find some of the best-known historic mines of the gold-rush. It was a frontier boomtown, thriving with life and energy. Today, locals brag about the “Water, Wealth, Contentment and Health” that Modesto has to offer.  www.visitmodesto.com

Modesto is just a short drive to the ocean, mountains, and some of the nation’s most renowned parks.
