Located in the nearby town of Victor, The Victor Lowell Thomas Museum pays homage to one of the most revered broadcasters in America. Housed inside a former hardware store that dates back to 1899, the two-story museum is filled with a variety of local mining and pioneering artifacts that tell the story of Victor, beginning with its creation at the start of the gold mining era. The museum also features memorabilia that belonged to Lowell Thompson, and visitors can watch a selection of videos about the journalist's life and works. One hour of gold panning is included in the museum admission fee.
