  • Museum Preservation Efforts

    PART OF OUR RECENT PRESERVATION EFFORTS INCLUDE THE NEW ARCHIVE ROOM IN THE BASEMENT OF THE MUSEUM. WE CONTINUE TO RELOCATE AND ORGANIZE THE ARCHIVES, INCLUDING SEVERAL YEARS OF HISTORIC NEWSPAPERS, PHOTOS AND DOCUMENTS, AS WELL AS ARTIFACTS FROM LOCAL FAMILIES THAT TELL THE HISTORY OF THE TOWN AND AREA. IN 2022, THE BOUND VOLUMES OF NEWSPAPERS, PLACED IN ARCHIVAL BOXES, WERE INDEXED AND SHELVED. WE HAVE BEEN SHARING SNIPPETS FROM THE PAPERS ON OUR FACEBOOK PAGE. WE ALSO INSTALLED A SINK ON THE UPPER FLOOR, MAKING CLEANING THE FLOORS MUCH EASIER. WE CONTINUE TO OFFER THE NEW GOLD CAMP ADVENTURE TOURS AS WELL AS THE SUNNYSIDE CEMETERY TOURS, AND ADDED ADDITIONAL DOWNTOWN VICTOR WALKING TOURS.

  • Program 1 [2025]

    THE MUSEUM WAS ABLE TO IMPROVE ITS ACCESS TO THE FIRST FLOOR AND MINING ROOM DISPLAY WITH THE INSTALLATION OF AN ADA RAMP IN THE SPRING OF 2025. THAT PROJECT REQUIRED THE REWORKING OF THE MINING ROOM DISPLAYS. THE NEW DISPLAYS INCLUDE LARGE FORMAT PHOTOS, MORE SECURE ARTIFACT DISPLAYS, AND INFORMATION ON MINING PROCESSES AND EVENTS SUCH AS THE CREATION OF THE CARLTON TUNNEL. THE NEXT PHASE IS INSTALLING NEW ENTRY DOORS, WHICH BEGAN IN THE FALL. THIS WILL INCREASE OUR SECURITY, ACCESSIBILITY, AND SEAL OUT THE ELEMENTS - THE OLD DOORS WERE NOT FUNCTIONAL, NOR WEATHER- OR CRITTER- PROOF. MORE WORK ON THE BUILDING IN 2025 INCLUDED PAINTING THE NORTH WALL AND THE EXTERIOR TRIM AND REFRESHING PAINT ON SOME INTERIOR WALLS. UPSTAIRS, WE REJUVENATED OUR SECOND LOWELL THOMAS ROOM TO INCLUDE A DISPLAY ON LOWELL THOMAS JR. WE WERE ABLE TO PAY STAFF TO SCAN OVER 500 NEGATIVES, WHILE VOLUNTEERS SCANNED ANOTHER 200 PHOTOS AND ARCHIVED SEVERAL ITEMS IN THE MINING ROOM DISPLAY.
