Went late April. Still not quite "open" except for the weekends. We went on a Thursday. Still, it was very nice and very few people. It was open, but no guides etc. stayed in Nevada City. Check out the website

This State Historic Park is amazing. The museum is well taken care of. Small and rustic but it shows in detail how life was in the 1800s to 1900s in this area. Adela, the Park Ranger at the museum was very friendly and is a great source of information for the Malakoff Diggins Museum. She warned us about bears and sure enough, on the way out of the hiking area, I saw a black bear down a small stream. It ran down the creek and away from us when it saw us. We took off in the opposite direction.

Take a weekend to get to know the history of the town of Humbug and the historical significance of the Malakoff Diggins. We're going to be making this wonderful place a regular stop on our road adventures.

The history here is pretty amazing! It really shows you the distraction that mining had on the landscape. It’s really fun to go see the old town of humbug. The museum was fun to walk through. The trail that takes you down to the Diggins is really well-maintained I’m pretty sure you could even take someone in a wheelchair. The park has a lot of charm and it was worth the drive.
