Junior Ranger Program

All youngsters are encouraged to become Junior Rangers at Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park. We recently released a new and improved Junior Ranger Program with additional activities and challenges for an improved Junior Ranger experience.

You'll learn about

  • James Marshall and the Gold Discovery
  • Different methods for mining gold
  • Plants and animals found in the area
  • The Native Americans who lived in this valley
  • The people of Coloma
  • The historic buildings in the park

Stop by our visitor center to pick up a copy of the Junior Ranger booklet and start exploring! Or, you can download the booklet here.
