A recreation of an 1849 gold rush camp. Visitors could partake in activities and events that typically happened in the camps. One of those activities was card game gambling.</p><p>Since gambling was illegal, the participants used tokens provided by the exhibit as souvenirs. I have found three tokens so far. The 5 10 and 20 MEX denominations.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can&#039;t find any information about this exhibit or attraction, no stories or pictures except on a map and it was far south at the fair. I did find The Pabst Blue Ribbon Casino and that was on &quot;The Lagoon&quot; in a more prominent location.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
