Experience Gold Rush History Past and Present
The Victor Lowell Thomas Museum is an original 1899 building
that houses two floors of artifacts, books, exhibits and
photographs depicting the life in Victor from its beginnings
to the heyday of gold mining.
Outside during the sunny summer, you can pan for real gold
and gems. The panning trough is open daily from Memorial Day
to Labor Day, weather allowing. You can also step into the
modern-day era of mining. Take a tour of the real, working
gold mine located here in Victor's back yard.
The museum also displays
memorabilia once owned by famous journalist, author and
world traveler, Lowell Thomas.
Our gift shop offers books, historic maps and postcards,
real stone and Victorian jewelry, old-time games and
puzzles, gold ore and rocks and minerals.
