About US
The Foresthill Divide Museum is located in Memorial Park, Foresthill, CA. Foresthill is situated on a peninsula of land lying between the North and Middle Forks of the American River. The land mass between the rivers is known as the Foresthill Divide or Divide for short.
The museum offers many displays that give visitors a good idea of life on the Divide in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Exhibits include Gold Rush artifacts, a logging exhibit which includes a scale model of the lumber mill, educational displays on Native Americans, recreation and transportation as well as rotating exhibits and a computer based slide show.
The Foresthill Divide Historical Society is dedicated to preserving the rich history of the Foresthill community. We aim to educate the public and promote awareness of local heritage through events and exhibitions.
