MOBILE MUSEUM WINS GRANT FROM CALAVERAS COMMUNITY FOUNDATION

Sal Manna —Fri, 10/07/2022 - 10:52

The Museum of West Calaveras History, the world's smallest mobile museum, has won a fully-funded grant from the Calaveras Community Foundation, it was announced earlier this month.  The funds will make possible improvements to the structure and trailer, enabling the museum to  travel to numerous venues throughout the county and thus become more accessible to more people, as well as to create three new exhibits: 1) celebrating the San Joaquin & Sierra Nevada Railroad, 2) exploring the county's early olive industry, and 3) honoring the veterans from Calaveras who served in the Civil War. The museum's debut exhibit, about outlaw Black Bart, opened in Valley Springs on July 4th (shown here), and will also remain available.  "We are grateful to the Calaveras Community Foundation for its support," said SPWCH founder Sal Manna.  "This marks our second grant from the CCF, with the first more than a dozen years ago which made possible other exhibits of West Calaveras history.  We greatly appreciate this recognition of the importance of local history."  For more information about the museum, please contact the SPWCH at [email protected].
