Start at the Pioneer History Museum right when it opens. Spend the first hour exploring the large collection of Gold Rush tools and historical items. Arriving at opening time helps you beat the weekend crowds.

Walk three minutes to Boss Burger for lunch. It is a solid choice for a burger that beats out the fast food joints lining Oro Dam Blvd.
