Pine Grove - Nevada Ghost Town

Pine Grove is one of the lesser-known gold mining camps but lasted longer than most. Gold was first discovered here in 1866 and within a year or so the town had grown to 300 people. Its zenith was in the 1880s when three mills were shipping $10,000 in gold bullion each week and the town had grown to over 1000 people. One building, thought to be a cookhouse, had newspaper on the walls to help keep out the cold winter blasts. The latest of the newspapers were dated in the early 1930s when the town was vacated to become a true ghost town. Submitted by Henry Chenoweth.
