Beginning in 1870, the area attracted gold seekers searching its streams and mountains. Within six years, the mining communities of Custer and Bonanza sprang to life. The 1880's brought rapid growth to the region as the Lucky Boy, General Custer and Montana mines produced abundant ore and the town of Custer reached a population of 600. But the gold eventually played out leaving Custer and Bonanza ghost towns by 1911. Today, restored buildings, the tales of the miners and secluded cemeteries are all that remain. Take a guided or self-guided tour through the remains of this once thriving community and get a unique glimpse of turn-of-the-century gold mining.
Custer Days are celebrated in July with features Dutch oven cooking, historic demonstrations and exhibits.
