California Pioneers Exhibit Opening

This Friday, September 9th, "California Pioneers" opens with a special reception held from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The first 200 guests will receive a FREE small bottle of real gold flakes! Also, several living history re-enactors will be bringing our exhibits to life representing pioneers, gold miners, Civil War soldiers and a railroad station master!

The reception will be fun for the whole family and the exhibit features a fool's gold (pyrite) dig station for kids and an interactive telegraph system! Guests can walk through a small scale train station and telegraph office and take a look at a life size covered wagon! The "Gold Fever!" exhibit focuses on California's diverse history and the California Gold Rush.

"Gold Fever! The Untold Stories of the California Gold Rush" was organized by the California Exhibition Resources Alliance in concert with the California Council for the Humanities.
