Fodor's Review:

The Amador County Museum, built in the late 1850s as a private home, provides a colorful take on gold-rush life. Displays include a kitchen with a woodstove, the Amador County bicentennial quilt, and a classroom. A time line recounts the county's checkered past. The museum conducts hourly tours of large-scale working models of the nearby Kennedy Mine.

  • Cost: Museum free; mine tours $1
  • Open: Wed.-Sun. 10-4
