The North Star Mining Museum, at 933 Allison Ranch Road in Grass Valley, will reopen for the 2021 season on May 1, after remaining closed last year due to the pandemic.
The museum, which first opened in 1971, traditionally opens to visitors from May 1 through Oct. 31 each year.
The North Star Mine powerhouse has since been restored and constructed into a museum housing many operating mining implements, including a working stamp mill.
