Silverado Museum

TIME : 2016/2/18 12:06:46

Contains a fascinating collection of Robert Louis Stevenson memorabilia. In 1880, the author – then sick, penniless and unknown – stayed in an abandoned bunkhouse at the old Silverado Mine on Mt St Helena with his wife, Fanny Osbourne; his novel The Silverado Squatters is based on his time there. Turn east off Hwy 29 at the Adams St traffic light and cross the railroad tracks.
