The historic Gold Hill Hotel continues its history series with a Chautauqua (living history) presentation of James and Margret Reed this Thursday, June 1, at 7 p.m. The Reeds were brave and heroic survivors of the forlorn 1846 Donner Party, that brought their four children and dozens of others safely through the tragedy.
Rooming house, private residence, bar, brothel, periods of non-use-for 162 years, the historic Gold Hill Hotel has steadfastly survived and is still providing exceptional hospitality to locals and visitors alike on the Comstock. Today, it is a full-service rooming, dining, and drinking establishment, and proudly claims the title of being the oldest hotel in the state of Nevada.
The Chautauqua presentation starts at 7 p.m. and costs $10 per person. And why not make a “night of it" and arrive early and enjoy dinner before the history presentation? Reservations for the Chautauqua and for dinner can be made here https://goldhillhotel.net/event/lecture-series-continues-donner-party/ or call 775 844-0111 for more information.
