History on the Lawn: The Gold Rush

History on the Lawn: The Gold Rush

In recognition of the 150th anniversary of the Black Hills Gold Rush, Dr. David Wolff will discuss how the gold rush began in 1874, grew in 1875, reached its peak in 1876 and 1877, and continued in the years after. Wolff will highlight people, places, and events associated with the gold rush, gold mining, and mineral development. This talk is based on Wolff’s recently released book, The Gold Rush, the first volume in a series of Black Hills History Tour books he is writing for the South Dakota Historical Society Press.
Bring a lunch and enjoy the Historic Adams House lawn; 12:00 p.m.; free for members and $5 for non-members. In case of rain, the lecture will be moved to the Homestake Adams Research and Cultural Center (HARCC).
