I haven't come across too many working theme towns but there
are many fairs that express a historical theme.

Roaring Camp harvest Fair Oct 17-18 and 24-25
Demonstrations of traditional 1880s skills and crafts.
Chuckwagon bar-b-que accompanied by genuine mountain music.

Mountain man Rendezvous Nov 27-29
Trappers and mountain men, traders and squaws of the 1830s and 40s
will participate in a living history encampment.
(408)335-4400

You can find many other exhibits and fairs in the rear pages
of Sunset magazine or The Californians. The last magazine
can be found in large bookstores like Stacy's or bookstores
specializing in history.
The Californians (history magazine)
Grizzly Bear Publishing Co.
