The New Almaden Quicksilver Mining Museum will be presenting a special event on Saturday, November 17th from 11am to 3pm. “Living History Day” will take place at the Casa Grande in New Almaden.

This spectacular home was once occupied by the managers of the New Almaden mine and its Victorian heritage has been maintained by the staff.

Docents dressed in the costumes of the period will be present to give tours of the elaborately decorated rooms and answer questions about the museum exhibits on the history of mining.

Children will have the chance to make and take home a turkey craft project. For more information, please call (408) 918-7774. [EVENT IS CLOSED]
