Abandoned High School, Goldfield, Nevada
|
While the unoccupied buildings of the town remain an attraction, they are not abandoned. Each building has an owner, many with plans to renovate the property. In addition, the Goldfield Days festival is held in August each year. The festival includes parades, booths, historical displays, and a land auction.
Goldfield is home to a small but eclectic population of artists and independent thinkers. One resident, now deceased, maintained an art car park on Highway 95 and some of his cars are still there and are for sale.
Among the buildings located within the Goldfield Historic District are:
The 1906-08 Goldfield High School, which survived the fire of 1923/24, is in poor condition, but the Goldfield Historical Society has received a matching grant of $296,000 from the National Park Service under the "Save America's Treasures Grant Program".
