Museum has captured the local history and artifacts pertinent to the history of the gold rush and its role in establishing local businesses throughout history. Docents we’re well versed on the materials presented. which commenced with a 17-minute movie. It was a very well-organized presentation throughout the museum. Rise & fall of local mines were a topic, as well as a discussion on a short-lived U.S. Mint that existed for 23 years with its primary purpose to make gold coins. I think most will find this an informative stop.

Visited for Christmas and took in the museum. They have a small gift shop on the first floor. The second floor plays a 17 minute video about the town and gold mines. The associates on site were very knowledgeable.

This is a very interesting museum. Find Sam for a better tour, if he is there. Small, beautiful building, very well-kept. We actually learned a lot about the Dahlonega gold mining area. They show a short film upstairs that is very informative.

Who KNEW there was a Georgia gold rush before there was one in California?! This museum, and its knowledgeable docents, bring history to life! Fascinating film upstairs helps put the whole area into perspective. Cute gift shop, too!
