About this place

A working foundry and machine shop from 1873, powered by water, now preserved as a historic site in Sutter Creek. Visitors can tour the building at their own pace and watch volunteers demonstrate the forges and sand casting techniques on open Saturdays twice monthly. The facility still contains original equipment and machinery from the Gold Rush era, when it produced equipment for local mines and supplied parts for hydroelectric plants and San Francisco infrastructure. A gift shop is on site.

If you are a member here

A membership to Knight Foundry carries reciprocal admission, so the same card is worth free or discounted entry at other places in these programs.

Reciprocal programs are built for travel and most exclude places close to the one where you hold your membership, so this is worth the most when you are away from home. How reciprocal memberships work
