Casa Grande, home
of the Almaden Quicksilver Mining Museum
Since its opening, Almaden Quicksilver County Park has been popular for hiking, running, mountain biking, and horseback riding. Historic mining structures can be seen all over the park. The park is a nature preserve and is a good place for viewing wildlife and wildflowers. The Almaden Quicksilver Mining Museum, housed in the Casa Grande, the former residence of the mine managers, has displays about the history of the New Almaden Mines. NAQCPA
was involved with the development of the park from the beginning.
Members helped preserve and restore historic structures in the park,
designed and installed interpretive signs, helped build and maintain
trails, led history and nature hikes, and played a major role in the
creation and operation of the mining museum. We still do work in the
park and are always looking for volunteers to help us, donations and
memberships to support our operations, and historic artifacts to add to
the museum's collections. See the relevant sections of our website for
more information. Note on our website: Our website has been re-organized. What used to be one long webpage has been split into multiple webpages. The links on the left take you to those webpages. Old links to sections in the previous webpage may not work and will re-direct to the links to the new pages. Use those links to go to the desired topic. Visit our Facebook page. We have a new email address: info@naqcpa.com. For more
