On Saturday, Sept. 7, one of the most popular historical field trips is taking place.
It’s the annual Tour of the Cedar Creek Historic Mining District hosted by the Mineral County Museum and Historical Society. The tour will be guided by local history buffs and will include at least 10 stops before landing at the Gildersleeve Mine.
“We have been going up Cedar Creek for almost 18 years,” shared Kay Strombo with the MCMHS. “We started when Chuck Mead said we needed to go to historic sites in the county.”
