| “Gold Fever! Untold Stories of California’s Gold Rush” |
|
April 9, 2008 - May 31, 2008
|
Times: Wed-Sunday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
www.museumonmain.org
Location: Museum On Main, 603 Main Street, Pleasanton
Phone: 925-462-2766
Admission: $2 per person donation
“Gold Fever! Untold Stories of California’s Gold Rush” a new exhibit, will be on display at the Museum On Main from April 9 to June 1, 2008. Through the use of representations of primary documents, photographs, daguerreotypes, Gold Rush era paintings, and artifacts uncovered in San Francisco archeological digs, the exhibit examines California before the fateful discovery of gold in the American River, the frenzied rush to the gold fields overland and by sea, the experience of vigilante justice, life in the rowdy gold camps, Gold Rush era commerce and farming, and the shaping of California’s future. The exhibition spotlights the remarkable stories of individual Californios, women, Native Americans, adventurers and gold seekers who emigrated from all parts of the world during the tumultuous and colorful Gold Rush era. It examines the impact that James Marshall’s discovery continues to have on California’s people, culture, environment, politics and economy. This traveling exhibit was organized by the California Exhibition Resources Alliance (CERA) in concert with the California Council for the Humanities. CERA is a network of professionally operated museums and cultural organizations that collaborate to create and tour smaller, affordable, high-quality exhibits that enhance civic engagement and human understanding. Accompanying presentations and public humanities programs were developed jointly by CCH and CERA. The traveling exhibit is made possible in part by a generous gift from The James Irvine Foundation and The William Randolph Hearst Foundation. Funding for the exhibition was provided by the California Council for the Humanities and a generous grant from Wells Fargo.
