Museum depicts the rich history from the Gold Rush days to 1930 with displays of furniture, art, objects d’art, clothing, musical instruments and artifacts of the Victorian era. Walk through a turn of the century doctor’s office.
The Museum also features a Victorian bedroom, a lace making exhibit, Lola Montez’s bathtub, a hall of photographs from the turn of the century, a table used for the signing of the United Nations Charter in San Francisco in 1945, and much more.
Today you can almost hear the echoes of children reciting their lessons as you stand behind the teacher’s desk in the restored classroom. On the desk is an attendance book from 1890. Note the exquisite penmanship of bygone days. Sit in the students’ desks and imagine what it was like to be a student in those days.
You’re in the Gold Country, so take a few minutes to see how life was lived here in the olden days. It’s waiting for you … at the Grass Valley Museum.
