State historical marker located on the road to Unionville from
I-80. Take the Mill City exit from I-80.
Located in the Star mining district some 7 miles west of here, Star
City was established in 1861, when rich silver ore was discovered
in the area. During the boom years of 1864 and 1865, the town
boasted 1,200 residents, two hotels, three general stores, a Wells
Fargo office, a church, and a dozen or more saloons.
The Sheba Mine, the district's biggest operation, had produced
about 5 million dollars in silver by 1868, the year the rich ore
began to run out. Three years later, only 78 inhabitants remained
in Star City. All that remains today are crumbling foundations,
rusted mill equipment, and memories.

Camped in Unionville with scout troop 15, Reno. Needed a cache for my one-a-day habit and this was closest. Room enough for about 4 more logs. Otherwise in fine shape. TFTC.
