FEATURED EXHIBITS

Foods of the Gold Hill Area
Learn about the agricultural, hunting and foraging practices that sustained the people who have resided in the Gold Hill area throughout the centuries.

Hygiene Throughout the Ages
In 2020 there was no toilet paper to be found in the stores, so we started wondering what people did in the past.
