Women Prospectors of the Old West

Of the women who traveled west during the Gold Rush, many found they could make good money by cooking meals or doing laundry. But not all women sought to earn a living performing domestic tasks. A few came to out west for the same reason men did: Gold!

Join us on the second floor of the Bernhard Museum Winery on Sunday, March 10th at 1:00 pm for Women Prospectors of the Old West presented by author Chris Enss. She has written over 25 books, many focusing on the lives of women in the west. This program is FREE!

Stories and S'mores

Campfire stories are fun! Do you remember sitting around a campfire listening to a great story? Whether it’s the long, embarrassing story your Dad told about your first bicycle accident or the ghost story your Uncle told that kept you up all night, stories have been, and continue to be, an important form of communication. For thousands of years, stories have been told to impart information, teach valuable life lessons, and enhance one’s understanding of their culture. If you would like to learn more about the history of storytelling and to hear a few good ol’ yarns, please join us on July 7th at 8:00 pm on the Bernhard Museum grounds for Campfire Storytelling.

This Placer County Museums Community Education program is FREE! No ghost stories will be told, so parents are encouraged to bring their children. You may either sit on the grass or you can bring your own blanket or lawn chair to sit on. And yes, we will roast marshmallows and make S’mores! The program will last about two hours.
