The Gold Mining Camp Musuem at Monroe Park will preserve and interpret the history of gold in Fauquier County, Virginia and the Piedmont within the context of its significance to local, state, and national history.
Description
The Gold Mining Camp Museum at Monroe Park is the Official Gold Mining Interpretive Center for the Commonwealth of Virginia. At this point, we have 3 reconstructed mining camp buildings to show the life of gold miners and the processes used to mine gold in Fauquier County and Virginia. We provide a historical education program for school-age groups, and are visited by a mix of county and Norhter Virginia residents, and tourists passing through the area.
