Neighboring the museum, is the oldest continuously used Chinese temple in California, the Weaverville Joss House State Historic Park. Distinguished by the Taoist temple, the park is laden with symbols of ancient deities, Chinese novelties, and speaks to the resilience of people by continuing to be a place of active worship. There will be a tea ceremony and activities for children as well as tours of the Taoist Temple and grounds.

Up the lane, the Jake Jackson Museum will intrigue all with the tinkering of blacksmiths forging metal works, gold panning and other outdoor exhibits that await public and prospectors alike. The Operating Stamp Mill will be fired up from 11:00 am until approximately 2:00 pm and the museum is open until 4:00 pm.

Drop in and take a peek inside the oldest church in Weaverville, and then explore the historic downtown district, where merchants will be dressed to impress, an element of old time mercantile to the patron. Kids can mine the town for golden nuggets hidden along Main Street. Redeem your prizes, and take a piece of Weaverville home with you. Come one, come all! And join us as we spend the day touching history.
