Druids of Cali

Every time I have driven around or through Placerville there's a strange pillar in the middle of the street with what looks to be a flame on the top. One day while driving by, I noticed on the plaque that it says Druids of California.
I don't know about you but I had never heard of a druid but it sounded kinda weird. I didn't think much about it after that but then I heard a preacher mention druids one day and I remembered that pillar. I still never looked into it, I didn't care all that much. Just a passing curiosity, you know. I bet at least one of you has been curious if you have seen it, and those that haven't are at least slightly intrigued now that I mentioned it.
So, I spent a few hours researching all I could for you, and here's the story.
