The Faces of Idaho Mining History

Idaho is known as the Gem State and the Silver Capital of the World. We'll take a photo tour and discuss Idaho mining history from Bogus claims to Billions made from mineral extraction from the beginning to modern day operations. You'll hear about the people who made history in Idaho's early days of silver mining.

Lecturer: Troy Lambert is a freelance writer, author, and historian who worked as the Museum Operations Specialist for the Wallace District Mining Museum. He still occasionally works as a consultant for museums and non-profits, and loves the rich history of the state we live in. Troy has been on the Advisory Council at the Idaho Museum of Mining and Geology for over 10 years and has given numerous lectures for the museum about historic mining in Idaho. This will, no doubt, be a very interesting presentation.
