Quicksilver County Park's Mining Museum Grand Re-opening

Years ago we were scouting rural wedding locations and my husband and I took a drive into New Almaden. We had read about the Casa Grande, an 1854 historic mining hotel owned now by the County Parks Department. It is located in a lovely setting near a brook with mature trees and a patio for hosting events. Unfortunately, the facility was no longer rented for private functions, but luckily it has recently undergone a long renovation and the mining museum will be open to the public for a re-dedication day on:

Pioneer Day
Oct. 9, 2010 from 11am-3pm.

Activities will include:
Children's games, entertainment, the "Original Well's Fargo Coach" and a horse-drawn wagon. Food available for purchase.

It's sure to be a great resource to introduce local history to students and families, thanks to the fine efforts of all the volunteers and County Parks Dept.
