This monthly breakfast continues to be an important fund raising activity for Coulterville’s museum, known as the Northern Mariposa County History Center. It helps keep the doors of this private, volunteer run, nonprofit museum open 5 days a week, Wednesdays through Sundays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., for 11 months of the year, February through December. Thank you to the many generous donors who contribute such great items to be raffled off every month!

NEW MUSEUM GUIDE AVAILABLE

For those of you who like exploring an area’s history by visiting local museums, there is a new museum guide available with information about the locations, hours open and other info about thirteen of the museums scattered throughout the Mother Lode… in Mariposa, Stanislaus, Tuolumne, Calaveras, Amador and El Dorado counties!  This free brochure is available at the NMCHC as well as at the Mariposa, La Grange, Waterford and Groveland museums.  It can also be found in the Coulterville Visitor Center.
