   MoreAlmaden Quicksilver Mining Museum is located outside the Almaden Quicksilver County Park in New Almaden, which was the site of famous mercury mines in the country. It is housed in Casa Grande, a white building that historically had 27 rooms and served as a hub for mining managers, their families and workers. It used to have a vault to store liquid mercury (quicksilver), a kitchen, servant quarters and food storage facilities. Today, guests can view the living rooms, parlors and libraries replete with antique furniture that afford a glimpse into the lives of mine owners and managers. This museum also provides free guided tours and takes visitors through the history of this mining region, as well as the unique technologies used to extract liquid mercury from cinnabar ore. It also consists of a three-dimensional replica resembling a mine shaft. Less
