Nevada County Narrow Gauge Railway Museum

The Christmas Party on the first Saturday in December draws hundreds of children to the brightly decorated Nevada County Narrow Gauge museum for an opportunity to visit Santa Claus and receive a gift. 

The event is always filled with family fun and refreshments.  In 2007 nearly 900 people dropped by to see Santa. 

The 2008 party will be on Saturday, December 6, from 10-4. The museum is at 5 Kidder Court, Nevada City, and you can call them at 530-470-0902.

Nevada City Halloween Houses

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

I’d not make a special trip to see these, but if you are in Nevada City you may want to check out the decorated halloween houses located where Broad St divides into East Broad St and West Broad St.  One is on Broad St just by the divide, featuring an excellent headless woman, and the other two are just past the divide on East Broad Street and feature lights, figures, and a giant spider.
