The Angels Camp Museum is a must-see destination for anyone exploring Angels Camp, Calaveras County, and California’s historic Gold Country. Set in a beautiful historic park, the museum brings the region’s Gold Rush past to life with fascinating indoor and outdoor exhibits, historic carriages and wagons, mining artifacts, minerals, ranching history, and stories connected to Mark Twain and Angels Camp’s legendary frog-jumping tradition. Families can try interactive activities like gold panning and the famous frog-jumping experience, while history lovers can explore one of the nation’s largest collections of historic horse-drawn vehicles. Whether visiting for the first time or rediscovering a local treasure, the Angels Camp Museum offers an entertaining, educational, and memorable experience for visitors and residents alike.
Be sure to visit the nearby Altaville Schoolhouse, one of California’s oldest and best-preserved little red schoolhouses, with free admission.
