Bernhard Museum Complex

Awesome tour with such wonderful knowledgeable guides! So much history here. Daisy and the wonderful lady who did our tour (forgot her name) were so wonderful in sharing all the special moments in the house and all the history. We really enjoyed our visit here and learning about the family and the home.

We only did the tour of the house but it was amazing. The two tour guides were so knowledgeable and friendly. The house is a replica of exactly what it would have looked like back in the day. There were so many special things to see in there including art from unusual materials, a wedding dress and a kitchen with old fashioned "appliances." My 5 year old was enthralled and it was short enough that she didn't surpass her attention span. The guides were truly incredible and the highlight of the experience. You can tell they care about preserving the history of it all.

My hubby and I stopped by on a whim at 3 p.m. today. We were lucky enough to get Mr. Brad Weinberg as our docent. He gave us a very interesting, fact filled tour of both the outside and inside of the house. Sally joined in and between the two of them, they covered downstairs and up, answered our questions and it surpassed our expectations! Make sure you ask about the art made from hair and feathers, dry commode toilet , the boots, and the bug doily! Thank you for a great time!

Customer Service is amazing. The docent gave us an amazing tour at the end of her shift. I would recommend this place to others. Filled with history I never knew. I would love to come back during a living tour, like the kids get to enjoy when they come on their bus tour.Location: Convient to freeway. Free parking in their own lot.Winery: There is a winery in the own winery. It's quite fascinating as to how cool it is.Bathroom: They have an outdoor own for all to use.

Such a great time taking my two grammar school grandkids there this Fall. The staff gave us a personal guided tour. The eight-year-old and six-year-old were mesmerized with all of the details of each room. Our host was very kind and every question we asked was answered with enthusiasm. She even engaged the kids, drawing them in to quirky details of life during the Gold Rush. This is a must see while visiting Auburn.

Had a very enjoyable visit to this very interesting place. For anyone interested in the history of Auburn and how people lived in the 19th century, this is a much recommended museum to visit. Our guide was enjoyable and very informative and all three of us who visited highly recommend this Museum.

Wonderful informative field trip. Stations weee well done and being a parent volunteer it was great .

My kids school did a field trip to this museum. They all dress in era outfits, not only toured the museum but also did different stations where kids get to learn a bit about cooking, cars, games, and leather and woodwork from the time period. After the field trip we decided to go as a family, the tour is free of charge and so interesting. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff.100% recommend.

I was scheduled to work as a volunteer docent at the Bernhard Museum. I was given a training shift on a Sunday. Ms. Bryanna M. Ryan is the supervising curator for Placer County Museums. Somebody canceled my shift but no one informed me of this. I sat on the front porch of the Museum for half an hour waiting for someone to show up with a key and unlock the front door. No one showed up. Ms. Ryan is the supervising curator. It is her responsibility to either inform volunteers of cancellations or else hire employees who can do the cancellations correctly. Ms. Ryan is not doing her job.

January 29, 2022This is Maestro or Maestra a few notes on the piano if you please, Seventeen, of this museum. I see last review is December 14, 2019, he is of Fortuna, California.The docent is Daphne Lake or Daphne Lane. Eight of us, the couple from Liberal, Kansas, three people just moved to Auburn two weeks ago from Louisiana, he starts his job January 31, 2022, a couple from Grass Valley, and me. All docents dressed in period attire. The tour is through downstairs area, due to Mister Corona Virus, upstairs area is closed. One learns of Bernhard Family. They came from Germany. One learns of the ways people lived, entertained, cooked, how upstairs area was what used be call Traveler's Inn. I do highly recommend visiting here. As now, modified hours are Tuesdays through Saturdays from one pm to four pm. If get there too early, do what I did. Go to Gold Country Fairgrounds, eat at Old Town Pizza at the Gold Country Fairgrounds. I went one Sunday after church services at Salvation Army, walked there. Free admission.
