Activity description

The original site of the Almaden Mining Museum was in the Carson-Perham Adobe. The house was built around 1848 and was the home of George Carson, who held a number of jobs, including postmaster and book-keeper for the mines. The house later became the home of Constance Perham and her husband Douglas. They collected mining artifacts and ran the original New Almaden Mining Museum, which opened in 1949. Constance Perham retired in 1984. Parts of her collection are currently on display in the new museum. Constance Perham died at the age of 92 on January 28, 2001. (Doug Perham founded the Perham Foundation, which ran the Foothill Electronics Museum that used to be at Foothill College, but is now at History San Jose.) http://www.newalmaden.org/AQSPark/newalmmus.html
