Small free historic museum about the mining industry there. Staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. Watch out for this tree out back - the bunya pine has large, heavy seed pods. One almost hit me.

Excellent little museum featuring the rich history of Mercury mining and production in New Almaden, and in many ways, the true beginning of what is now the booming Silicon Valley.

Friendly, well informed guide.  Beautiful drive past farms and forests enroute.  Pretty  house (named Casa Grande), well thought out and executed exhibits with plenty to see, hear, read about how quick silver was mined, used, and affected the people involved.  Historic, scientific, and social stories of workers, owners, equipment, and technology.  

Antique packed front rooms showed how homes were furnished and decorated way back when.  Gift shop had cool stuff to help entertain and teach kids.

Cost is free, but a modest $2 donation is suggested, and well worth it for families or school groups.

My daughter and I popped in on a whim and were pleasantly surprised! Bridget guided us and let us explore on our own as well. Afterwards she helped us choose a perfect hike to finish the day. Thank you, Bridget!!
