Fountain and Tallman Museum

Its small-scale exhibitions and substantial masonry connect local social history with the Gold Rush town’s transition from temporary mining camp to permanent settlement.

Check the historical society’s current opening arrangements before arriving, since the museum has limited weekly public hours. The photograph shows the historic street facade rather than the complete interior collection. The building’s thick walls and former industrial use are part of the visit, alongside changing displays of local objects and photographs.
