North Star Mining Museum - Replica of where they'd melt the gold into bars

North Star Mining Museum

(11 reviews)

We were exploring Grass Valley and decided to try North Star Mining Museum. It was too bad that it…read morelooked so small on the outside because we did not allow enough time to really enjoy all the exhibits. We started in the parking lot learning about the larger mining machines. It was a warm day and, at our advanced age, it took time for us to work our way down the driveway to the museum entrance. The docents were very knowledgeable and brought the exhibits to life. We were able to get about half way through the museum before we needed to get to our next appointment. Go see the North Star Mining Museum.

This place is awesome! Please make sure you've got at least an hour or 3. There's old tools on the…read moreoutside on display, a gorgeous river running along side to admire, inside the building there two rooms. The first room with displays and smaller parts they'd use to mine and the second room is where the big tools are! Steve and his volunteer were so kind turning on the big machines, showing how each tool worked and how they would mine the mountains. So much history, so many fascinating tools, interesting old time accessories, and so much information! If you're wondering how they started mining a mountain side to how they made the gold and what powered it all go check out North Star mining museum! This place makes you never want to leave, there's so much information here please take an hour to look around at least. You will have a great time whether you're 5 or 85, male/female or space creature the history of mining will fascinate your socks off. Check them out.

Tip: If you are at the counter of Taylors diner when a train whistles, you can get a free Kids Cone of soft serve ice cream.

Railroad history is a vibrant part of Placer County and the surrounding gold country towns. I grew…read moreup in Auburn, which has train tracks running all throughout it. I spent a lot of my childhood at my Grandma's house in Loomis, scurrying to the top of the playset to watch as trains flew past. I loved falling asleep to the gentle sounds of steel wheels hitting train tracks as a kid, and now that I live in midtown Sacramento, I still get to hear it, and it makes me happy. I'll stop being a Sheldon Cooper, and get on with it. Although trains have not stopped here for many years, the Loomis Train Depot has recently been restored to its former glory as a historical point of interest train station in the heart of the town of Loomis. You can't miss it. Just follow Horseshoe Bar Road from the Loomis exit off of I-80, past Taylor Road, until it dead ends at Blue Anchor Park, behind Taylor's, where you should also stop for a Golden Eagle Shake. GO DOHS! It is currently the site of town hall meetings, and inside you'll find a gavel and courtroom style chair set up along with a small train museum for enthusiasts. It's also an awesome venue for a small party or in this month's case, a bridal shower. There are plenty of chairs, tables, and a kitchen complete with sink, trash cans, microwave and fridge. I liked this location as a venue so much that I have my eye on it for the future. Folks wanting to reserve this space should contact that business number listed, or check out the facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/Loomis-Train-Depot-130172910379866/.

I dropped in this afternoon to visit our museum in Sutter County. First off, I must commend the…read morestaff and their volunteers on all their efforts and dedication. The museum is absolutely stunning. We are so fortunate to have people in our community that are supportive of our towns diversity by proudly displaying our heritage that for centuries have held a place in Sutter County and beyond. I want to thank Daisy for walking me through, also being so inviting and welcoming me with a smile. Her knowledge and enthusiasm enhanced the experience which I appreciate. There were so many highlights today; I enjoyed the unique items from many talented crafters in the gift shop. I took some photos but I strongly encourage you to experience this yourself or with family and friends. The featured award winning talented Artist, Sarabjit Singh. Her displays are vibrant, she literally engages with her audience by telling a story of the history of Sikh's, their customs and contributions throughout history. It was very profound experience. You must come and experience it yourself. Everyone is welcomed and it's free to visit. I also encourage you to checkout their scheduled events coming up. They can be found on their yelp. @Suttercountymuseum.org

They regularly change the main exhibit and the rest is filled with interesting things about Sutter County in our area that I didn't know before and my kids and I really enjoyed it. It was very educational and we intend to go back again.
