Abstract:
"In the early 19th century, fortune seekers headed to Rowan County to strike it rich. While the mines are now closed, locals still celebrate their community's history." Gold Hill was once home to two of the most profitable gold mines in the southeastern U.S. By the early 20th century, the area's 24 mines had ceased operations. Gold Hill Founders Day festival in September is Gold Hill's largest annual event.
