This house was a filming location for the 2013 romantic fantasy film "Beautiful Creatures", which was based on a novel by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. The film stars Alden Ehrenreich, Alice Englert, Jeremy Irons, Viola Davis, Emmy Rossum, and Emma Thompson.
This mansion was built in the 1830's. It was chosen for its antebellum rectangular exterior and was dressed up to look spookier than in real life. Most interior scenes of the house were filmed at a soundstage in New Orleans. Other scenes of the movie were filmed in Covington and St. Francisville, Louisiana.

Yuba Goldfields

The Yuba Goldfields is a valley of 10,000 acres (40 km²) on both sides of the Yuba River in Yuba County, California, located northeast of Marysville. The goldfields are noted for their otherworldly appearance, filled with oddly shaped gravel mountains, ravines, streams and turquoise-colored pools of water. From the air, the goldfields are said to resemble intestines.
Wild turkeys, deer, ducks, Beavers, herons, bald eagles, Northern river otters and even mountain lions now call the goldfields home.
They were created during the California Gold Rush. Mining companies in the Sierra Nevada foothills blasted gravel hillsides with high-pressure jets of water—a process called hydraulic mining. Rivers and streams carried the flood of sediment—called slickens—down to the Sacramento Valley.
In 1893, the California Debris Commission began to dredge the Yuba near Marysville to mitigate the environmental damage, and piled the gravel along the river's banks, creating the irregular hills seen today.
