Lecture Series Continues – Thursday, November 13th with Joe Curtis presenting: Stuff about the Comstock that you did not know that you needed to know!

We are pleased to continue the 2025 Gold Hill Lecture Series!

Dinner starts at 4:30 p.m. and lecture starts at 7:00 p.m.

Description: 

A discussion about much of the false information, folklore, lies, wild stories, myths and general barroom BS that has floated about the Comstock since about 1959…or before.  We will try to clarify some of these myths you hear from bartenders, restaurant waiters and store clerks that make it up as they go.  You are welcome to rudely interrupt, interject and ask questions about stuff you have heard.  A general Starbucks, cocktail lounge, restaurant table and hotel lobby discussion of Comstock history.
As noted…..Some Comstock History that you did know that you needed to know!
PS:  I know nothing about trains or movie stars !!!  But I can tell stories about my good friend Jim Clark.

Bios: 

Joe Curtis, was raised in Carson to about age 14, his parents purchased buildings and opened a Comstock history museum and also dealt in the history and artifacts of Comstock life.  Joe grew up and later became the care taker of vast stores of original historical source material which he has spent spare time outside two careers researching and stuffing the information into the space between his ears.  It now has to be passed on to the future caretakers of Comstock history while he can remember to do so.  He is one of the most passionate purveyors of accurate Comstock history.  Don’t look him in the eye or he will talk history  to you till you get in your car and drive away.

Lecture starts at 7:00 p.m. and costs $10 per person.
