As we mosey along Hwy 101, we enter all sorts of small bergs and towns. One in particular caught our eye. Scotia is a totally a company town. The town was founded in 1863 as Forestville. I am not sure when the redwood mill started but most of the 275 cottages were built by the Pacific Lumber company from 1920 to 1950. In 1992 an earthquake hit the area and their shopping center was destroyed. Palco rebuilt it in the same fashion as the old original bank building which is now the museum that you see in this photo.
