## About

Placer County Museums opens the Bernhard Museum Complex, a restored Victorian farmhouse in Auburn, for an evening of free holiday family fun on Friday, December 11, from 5 to 8 PM. Families roast marshmallows over the fire for s'mores, warm up with a cup of hot cocoa, and listen to live music and storytelling, with a chance to learn the history of the museum along the way. It's a low-key, outdoorsy alternative to the busier holiday events in Old Town and downtown Auburn, so dress warmly for a December evening. Admission is free; parking is in the Gold Country Fairgrounds next door.
