Empire Mine
Empire Mine is “one of the oldest, largest, deepest, longest and richest gold mines in California.” It also happened to be right down the road from us, show Kerri showed me around her local state park.
While the mine shaft itself was cool and all, it was the Estate and grounds that were truly impressive and included a greenhouse, gardens, fountains, a reflecting pool, and a clubhouse with tennis courts, bowling alley and squash courts.
