When we entered, we were welcomed by 2 docents dressed in period outfits to join an ongoing tour. While there, we only had time to see & hear about the first floor rooms, but they also go up to the second floor. It was neat to see so many furnishings & get a lot of history & information about the life of the family. The docents were knowledgeable & full of facts they wanted to share. They were interactive, answered questions, & invited visitors to venture guesses about things. Because of the tour format & wealth of information that the docents have, it does take some time. Also, because visitors were trickling in at different times & joining the ongoing tour, some information would get repeated to catch everyone up. We did walk around some of the grounds freely. If you're interested in the Victorian Era & local history, this is a worthwhile spot to see. Apparently there are some seasonal changes to the decor around the holidays. It's probably not a great spot to visit with very young kids because of the amount of patience needed to stand, listen, & not touch anything.

After I found the gold flake, he gave me a small vial to put water and the flake inside. The only problem was getting that gold flake out of the pan. I managed and was running out of time as the museum closes at 4pm. (I got there at 3:20pm on a Sunday.) I grabbed another set of sand/rocks and panned another smaller flake. This is a must go if you're in the Sacramento region. It's definitely worth the 40 minute drive from the state capitol.
