Lecture Series Continues! "Business and Commerce on the Comstock 1870s to 1890s"
2025-04-17 16:30 - 20:30 UTC
Lecture Series Continues – Thursday, April 17th with Joe Curtis and Ron Gallagher’s – “Business and Commerce on the Comstock 1870s to 1890s”
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: The Comstock’s own Huxsters of History, the VC Relic AKA Ron Gallagher and Prof. E.P. Stinkwater AKA Joe Curtis, will present on the subject of “Business and Commerce on the Comstock 1870s to 1890s”. A mining town can’t exist without a community to support it. Their intention is to pass on the caretaker duties of the true and relatively accurate history of the Comstock to the next keepers thereof. Come soak up the Comstock history stuck in their heads and become a Comstock History Caretaker.
Bios: Ron Gallagher, was born as a young child and raised on the Comstock. His family worked in, owned and operated businesses in Virginia City from the 1870’s into the 1950’s or so. Ron, contrary to some reports which may be fake news, did not attend the Fourth Ward School as a child. He did, however go to school. A career in teaching and private industry and a passion for the history of “his” community places him in a rare position to have absorbed the history. Ron has researched his family history along with general Comstock history for much of his adult Irish life interspersed with occasional “blarney shots”.
Joe Curtis, younger than Ron, 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.

"Hidden Nevada: Photographs from off the Beaten Track" Lecture and Slide-show
2025-08-07 16:30 - 20:30 UTC
Heinz Ranch was built in 1855 by German immigrants Frank and Wilhemina Heinz. Located south of White Lake Playa, the Ranch is in Cold Springs north of Reno, NV and on the California-Nevada border.
We are pleased to continue the 2025 Lecture Series at the Historic Gold Hill Hotel!
Dinner starts at 4:30 p.m. and lecture starts at 7:00 p.m.
Nevada is full of big open landscapes, mountain ranges (it has the most mountain ranges of any state in the Lower 48 with 300 named ranges and 100 unnamed ranges), forests, desert, lakes and rivers, and thousands of miles of off-road trails that take you back into the heart of the state.
Hidden Nevada: Photographs from off the Beaten Track is a portfolio of Dana’s work taken while on the off-road trails. He enjoys exploring until he hits the end of the trail, or until he finds something interesting to photograph. Dana chose to make this series a study in black and white photography to capture the essence of Nevada locations.
Bio:
Dana Garrett was given his first camera at the age of seven after watching his dad develop his photographs in their makeshift darkroom. He then went on to perfect the art of taking fuzzy pictures of his feet.
Fast forward to 1999, 33 years later, he decided to invest more time and energy into the art. Since then, he has had numerous solo art shows in Monterey, CA, received three Honorable Mentions in his first entry in the Monterey County Fair Photography Contest, was a Finalist in 5 consecutive entries in the Black and White Spider Awards, an international photography competition, and has successfully juried into the international art exhibitions Art San Diego, ArtEXPO New York, and Art Santa Fe.
Dana is a retired U.S. Navy Chief Petty Officer who was a Meteorologist/Oceanographer for 30+ years and served on three amphibious Assault ships supporting Marine Corps Expeditionary Units. He currently resides in the Virginia City Highlands outside Reno, NV with his wife of 40 years Kathy, and their two dogs.
