November 2nd, 2008. I took a boatload of great shots in Goldfield that day. It was on the back end of a trip to Carson City for Nevada Day in late 2008.
For anyone who's got the desert DNA, the trip on I95 from Las Vegas to Carson City is mesmerizing.
Goldfield was a boomtown in the first decade of the 20th century due to the discovery of gold between 1903 and 1940, Goldfield's mines produced more than $86 million. Much of the town was destroyed by a fire in 1924, although several buildings survived and remain today, notably the Goldfield Hotel, the Consolidated Mines Building (the communications center of the town until 1963) and the schoolhouse. Gold exploration still continues in and around the town today.
