UPCOMING EVENTS
The kick-off events over Memorial Day weekend for our celebration of 150 years as a community got us off to an excellent start. Coming up soon are two more events you will not want to miss.
- Saturday, June 20: Mining Days, Noon to 3 PM: Sinner’s Side yard, across from the Bluebird Lodge
- Demonstrations of blacksmithing and hard rock hand drilling

- Talks on the geology of gold
- Sales of commemorative items- t-shirts, coffee mugs, buttons
- Sale of Cornish pasties (Yum!) **see below for advance orders**
- Museum open 11 AM with its newly organized display
**The popularity of the Cornish pasties at the Memorial Day Gold Hill Sesquicentennial event meant that they ran out quickly. To make sure that everyone has a chance to enjoy them, advance orders are now being taken for pasties for the June 20th Mining Days event. Payment in advance is necessary.
Please email the quantity you wish to buy to John Sand (
