Placer County Museum

Originally built in the 1940s as a mining exhibit hall on the 20th Agricultural District Fairgrounds, this building was constructed by the W.P.A. crew from nearby Camp Flint. The Placer County Historical Society secured use of part of the building for a museum that opened on January 24, 1948, and expanded in 1951. Placer County took over museum operations in 1948 and hired May Perry as curator. The name was later changed to The Gold Country Museum.
