Museum Review #3 Roseville Historical Society Carnegie Museum

The museum is housed in a 100 year old building with a very eclectic collection of items. There is a working model railroad, old toys, irons, tools, business cameras and even a horse drawn carriage. There will be marble games for children.

Bus Tour 2013

Why put up with driving fuss when you can take the bus?

You can reserve a spot on one or two bus trips for the Heritage Trail.

On Saturday, the bus loads up at the upper parking lot of the Gold Country Fairgrounds in Auburn and heads east, stopping at the Skisport Museum, the Golden Drift Museum, the Colfax Area Heritage Museum, and the Forest Hill Divide Museum before heading back to Auburn.

The Sunday bus also begins at the Gold Country Fairgrounds parking lot and heads west. It stops at the Rocklin Historical Society Museum, the Maidu Historic Site and Museum, the Roseville Historical Society Carnegie Museum, the Roseville Telephone Museum, and the Griffith Quarry Park & Museum before returning to Auburn.

So pack your own lunch, sit back, relax and let us do the driving. We promise your ride will be a whole lot smoother than the youngsters above got on their way to school!

For more information or to reserve your seat, please call 530-889-6500.

Call soon because space is limited!

Museums Review #2 The Roseville Telephone Museum

From magnetos to Mickey Mouse and everything in between, come absorb a little bit of telephone history. Presented by SureWest, this is among the most extensive collections of antique telephones and memorabilia in the nation. It’s fun, exciting and educational.

The Roseville Telephone Museum, owned by Heritage Trail sponsor SureWest, is usually only open by appointment, so this is the best time of the year to come and check out their collection.
