Kids and their teachers, parents or grandparents can learn about early California and the Gold Rush era at the Gold Gulch Museum. " I keep telling them theyneed to add 'of living history' to thiername" says Dan Carter, Executive Director of the Yosemite Sierra Visitors Bureau. "Their name doesn't communicate all they actually do at Gold Gulch." Visitors to Gold Gulch, regardless of age, can pan for gold, walk inside a real mine tunnel, make candles, and do other crafts reflective of the OLD WEST. There is an authentic Miwok village on the grounds and story tellers from the nearby tribes tell visitors about their culture. Several 'characters' from Gold Gulch were at the Big Fresno Fair. "Have gold panning trough; will travel is my motto" says owner Russ Crumpton.
