Instructor: Barbara Guerin
The impact of the Comstock Lode on the world in the mid-1800’s was immense in many ways. The mines were producing thousands of tons of ore every day, and it took over 263 mills to keep up with the demand. The Donovan Mill was not only the longest operating mill of the Comstock, 1860-1959, but it is also only one of four mills remaining today. Step back in time to explore the historic Donovan Mill and learn about the people, processes, and machinery that played a key role in Nevada’s mining history. Few will feel history come alive as we hear the roar of working machinery, explore the world of 1800s millwrights, and see how innovation shaped the Comstock.
COST: $10, payable at the door
