Play Like a Miner, Almaden Quicksilver Mining Museum, 7/9/22 by Ronald Horii
After a 2-year absence due to COVID, the very popular Play Like a Miner event was held again on 7/9/22 at the Almaden Quicksilver Mining Museum grounds. This was the description: "Imagine a day in the life of a mercury miner and other 19th century residents of New Almaden at this fun family event featuring games, crafts, live music, and demonstrations, and mining-era activities for all ages. Food will be available for purchase." Here are pictures of the event. They are organized by activity and are not in chronological order.
