California landmarks often showcase the past, and several of them around Lincoln preserve American history. In nearby Coloma, you can see the first Japanese colony established in America. Wakamatsu Farm is open to the public on certain days of the week throughout the year.

Foresthill Bridge spans over the North Fork American River near Auburn, and it's one of the highest bridges in the United States. Visitors can walk the length of the bridge, around it, and underneath it. Travelers also head to the picturesque Rainbow Bridge by Folsom Lake to enjoy the natural beauty around this iconic structure.
