Marshall Gold Discovery State Park

On Saturday we visited Marshall Gold Discovery State Park. The museum was small, but well done. I liked learning a few more facts about the gold rush. On the second Saturday of each month, docents are dressed in period clothes and work in various stores/stations in the old town area of the park. We specifically went on this Saturday for that reason. Well, due to unusually hot weather, (the high was 104 that day) the docents were not out and about. Boo-hoo. We shouldn't have been out either. Can you say scorcher?!?

Breaking for a picnic.



 They had a dress up station that was the biggest hit of the trip.


Luke was all business with that gun in his possession.



I would love to go back when it's 70 degrees and there's a little more to do. Timing is everything-we were off this go around. :)
