Lecture Series Continues! Joe Curtis Returns to the Gold Hill!
2026-04-02 16:30 - 20:30 UTC
Lecture Series Continues – Thursday, April 2nd with Joe Curtis presenting: Tall Tales of the Comstock!
We are pleased to continue the 2026 Gold Hill Lecture Series!
Dinner starts at 4:30 p.m. and lecture starts at 7:00 p.m.
Description:

Porkies, Yarns, Leg pullers, Tall tales, Whoppers…..BS Story.
April Fools Day was popular every day of the year in the early days of the Comstock and even other mining areas of Nevada.
Join Joe Curtis, and the Gold Hill Hotel as we examine and consider some of the both past and present “tall tales” that circulate around Comstock History.
In the 187s the Sazarac Liars Club was formed in Austin, Nevada. Such groups quickly spread to the Comstock and other mining towns. Gathered around a wood stove in the dead of winter, they would compete amongst themselves to see who could tell the most believable and wild tale.
Humm…maybe there is a plan for such an event on the Comstock in 2027.

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.
Come early and enjoy dinner before the lecture! We Serve dinner before the lecture at 5, 5:30, & 6 p.m.
