I do wish that our kids had been a little older since I think it would have been more enjoyable to do the sing alongs and the reading of a night before Christmas.

If you happen to be in Georgetown for the Christmas market or are planning on doing the Christmas train I do highly recommend this!

When white folks were just settling down in Georgetown, they started to discover gold uphill in what later became this town. The building is a large former schoolhouse, and has many artifacts from olden days. The staff is always great and one lady in particular is very kind and helpful. She has much information about the area. There are two floors, a sample school room, rocks and minerals, and a small gift shop. I liked how historical it all felt. The town is also very pretty and deserves a bit more recognition. Thank you to all keeping history alive in Solver Plume!
