Plumas Eureka State Park Museum

Come and visit the Museum at Plumas-Eureka State Park. Open 7 days a week from 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.

The Museum is a converted miners' bunkhouse that brings the miners' daily regime to vivid life, with an exhibit of tools, household items, mining machinery, and photographs. Nearby are the old blacksmith shop, where drills were sharpened, and the spectacular remains of the stamp mill, where steel pistons weighing nearly a half ton smashed bucket loads of ore for the gold--some $18 million worth before the last mine closed in 1943.

The Museum also houses the Ranger station and our popular Camp Store where maps, books, iron goods created in the Blacksmith Shop and many other items may be purchased.
