Ananda Village and Crystal Hermitage gardens are in self isolation. in response to California's stay in place order. All events have been cancelled. No exceptions.
We visited Grass Valley last April and with the recommendation of the Grass Valley Chamber, included a trip to the Crystal Hermitage Gardens to experience Springtime at Ananda. WOW barely covers it! The gardens are incredible! The cherry tree was in blossom and the tulips were in full bloom. We learned a bit about the history, and what an incredible act of love, devotion, and perseverance it took to create the gardens, and to learn that new tulips are planted each year with the help of volunteers is astounding! It's an experience we won't forget and highly recommend taking the time to visit-you won't be disappointed!

The Nevada Theatre is the oldest original-use theatre building in California. Operated by the non-profit Nevada Theatre Commission, it is the venue for live theatrical plays by most of the area’s production companies, including LeGacy Productions, Sierra Stages, Community Asian Theatre of the Sierra, Paul Emery Presents and others. The Theatre also hosts numerous musical events, a film series (every Sunday night), film festivals, magic and variety shows and community events.

Visible from space, Malakoff is truly impressive. At times looking like a different planet, it is impressive, weird, startling and a stark reminder of what kind of damage we can do to the earth in pursuit of riches. The sediment from this hydraulic mining operation was the first Super Fund operation. Many great hiking trails and camping, there are even cabins for rent in the historic town inside the park.

We visited the Museum with our 7 year old granddaughter and were pleasantly surprised with how fun it is to visit here. We started with a 10:40 am ride on the railcar. We had made reservations and found that to be a good idea. Our desired time slot was full. See the website for contact information and location. From the site: “Located in Nevada City, California, the Nevada County Narrow Gauge Railroad and Transportation Museum is dedicated to the preservation of local transportation history and artifacts from the narrow gauge railroad era. Visitors are offered a docent-led historical tour of the museum, rail yard, and restoration shop. There is no admission charge. The Museum exhibits a collection of railroad and aviation artifacts, photographs, and documents for visitors and historians alike. Exhibits include the NCNCRR Engine 5, rolling stock, an early steam automobile, and other examples of Nevada County’s transportation history.” There is also a restored horse drawn beer wagon that delivered kegs to Saloons in days of olde. In the outdoor rail car yard, you may walk through some of the cars and sit in them. Pretty fun stuff here. The ride through the trees and grounds of a Glamping Campground and the meadow of a vintage hotel. It’s Wonderful. Complimentary cool drinks and knowledgeable Docents. This facility is all Volunteer/Docent run and depends on community support/donations to keep it going. Please take a check and enjoy a tax write-off for this 501(c)(3), so worthy of our support. A charming piece of California History.
