About Alleghany

Alleghany is a tiny, secluded mountain town in Sierra County, tucked about twenty miles off Highway 49. Born during the Gold Rush around the historic Sixteen to One Mine, the community today consists of a quiet main street nestled against steep, pine-covered ravines. It is a rugged, peaceful place where life moves slowly, offering starry night skies, a tight-knit rural neighborhood, and a genuine escape from the fast pace of modern city life.
