Silverado Museum – This tiny "jewel box" museum has memorabilia of Robert Louis Stevenson, author of Treasure Island. Kids can check out a lovely chalk pastel drawing of the author as a 4 year old, the lead soldiers that Robert Louis Stevenson played with when he was a sickly child in Scotland, or a model of the bunkhouse on Mount St. Helena where he stayed with his bride in 1880. Get a glimpse of Stevenson himself, who wrote such best-loved novels of derring-do. | ||

Go for a bike ride – Rent bikes at St. Helena Cyclery. They have kids bikes (24 inch) and helmets, plus bike trailers for kids. Bike out Spring St. to White Sulfur Springs – the road is pretty level and quiet, and it winds along the creek, through the oak trees. | ||
