Shaws Flat

The Mississippi House

The Mississippi House, a rambling, two-building complex, was built by Albert Bullerdieck in 1850. It marked the center of town, and over the years has served in a number of fashions; post office, stage station, hotel, trading post, bar and restaurant. Fruit trees planted on the property provided the miners with fresh fruit, oftentimes unavailable at many other locales in the Gold Country. It stands opposite the Stone Monument on the Shaws Flat Road.
