C Star If you pass up the chance to go here Im so sorry! This place is fabulous! I LOVE MENDOCINO COLLEGE!

Andrea K Wonderful little museum showcasing the history of California mining and abundance of mineral deposits of the state. $4 in November 2023 is well worth this quick stop to stretch your legs and expand your brain. Kids under 12 go in for free. Located within the Mariposa Fairegrounds, there is ample parking right outside the main gate. There are bathrooms inside and outside the museum. NO photography allowed. The mineral collection here is quite impressive and includes some donated items from around the globe. The highlight comes from a gold rush Era find. A GORGEOUS looking gold nugget is kept in their vault. It was never smelted due to its beautiful shape. You can also explore a 175 ft long replica of a mineshaft. It is dark, damp, and a bit musky in there, so dont go if you suffer from claustrophobia. It does not get to a point where you need to duck or squeeze through. I am 510 and had no issues.

Mellissa Barcelo My husband and I have been working with Ben for a couple of years now. What stands out to the two of us is that he immediately put us at ease. He has the ability to listen and ask thoughtful questions so that we reach our financial goals.

Bryan Great advice!! Highly recommend them!
