Angels Camp Museum – This museum on Highway 49 is a gem. In the museum are 19th century household
items, including iron toy fire engines, tiny children's shoes, a horse-drawn
hearse, and a working model of a stamp mill |

|
Outside the museum there is a full size water wheel,
Pelton wheel, and "Ol' Beth" steam tractor, ore cart and mining
implements. |

The carriage house has all kinds of horse-drawn vehicles
– phaeton, surrey, road cart (driven by kids because they were easy
to maneuver), cabriolet, spring wagon, mail stage, water wagon, popcorn
wagon, piano box buggy. Don't miss the model of the Wild Goose Mine. |
