"Free museum! Not too big but it will give you a background of the gold rush, mining towns that spring out, the people and auburn in general. The staff are very nice too"
"Very nice museum with free entrance, donations are apreciated. We got a wounderful guided tour by the man on site, he told very informative stories. You will know a lot about the life and times of the miners. And you can also walk through the replika of a mine. Learn about the weight of gold and how it was found. There is also an old train on site. The whole place is designed with love and really worth a visit!"
"Excellent museum in Auburn, place is rather small and parking is tricky to find at first. Entrance is free but don’t let that deter you, this small museum is highly entertaining and engaging. The “mine” is excellently prepared and highly engaging. Staff is very knowledgable and very friendly. Highly recommended!"
