Gourmet additions to the gift shopThe Museum gift shop has an exciting line of gourmet mustards, with recipes to go with them, just in time for your holiday meals. They are only $6.95 each. Drop by the Museum for a tasting sample today. While you're there, pick up a tin of Douglas Fir Tip Tea, also known as Miners' Tea. This brew was reportedly used to cure scurvy during the Gold Rush.
