A Hotel Steeped in History
Pioneer is a small town that served as a travel stop for many gold miners, trappers, explorers, and travelers for over a hundred years. Pioneer Station, built approximately 1925, is located in Pioneer and sold groceries, dry goods, mining equipment, gas, camping sites for rent, and more, however, it was never an official Pony Express stop. It was a general store selling gas, water, and offering camping sites. The old Pioneer Station still stands and is currently a private residence. A post office opened in Pioneer in 1947 for travelers looking to mail letters to loved ones back home, and since then the town has been a small but tight-knit community that is passionate about the outdoors and continuing to serve as a rest-stop for weary travelers. The Amador Hotel, was named after a wealthy rancher by the name of Jose Maria Amador took to mining along an unnamed creek nearby in 1848-49. Since its inception, the Amador Hotel has continued to provide a comfortable place for explorers and outdoor enthusiasts to appreciate Pioneer and the California wilderness beyond.
