Join Nevada Writer, Photographer, and Silversmith Sydney Martinez in conversation with Nevada State Railroad Museum Curator of Education Adam Michalski for a lively afternoon of discussion about Goldfield: The World’s Greatest Gold Camp.
From the Ghouls of the Night, to the rail lines that brought tens of thousands of people to one of the most sensational mining camps in the West, to the stories of the lives of the socialites, prospectors, the West’s wealthiest bankers, businessmen, and gunslingers who all shared the same sidewalks, there’s no place else in the West (or the world!) like Goldfield. As Sydney and Adam chat all things Goldfield (and the locomotive histories that run right through it), watch along as Sydney makes a sterling silver chalcedony pendant she pried from Goldfield’s Gemfield rockhounding site.
