Earth Day is one week away, and we’re inviting you to celebrate by exploring the wonders of nature just outside the library.

High Noon with Neal Cobb

This week, Neal will be joined by Steven Saylor, executive director of the Comstock Foundation, who will discuss the Donovan Mill. The Donovan Mill in Silver City, Nevada was established in 1860, and was the longest running stamp mill on the Comstock. It is one of only four mills left on the Comstock out of 260 that were in operation in the late 1800s. The Comstock Foundation purchased the mill in 2014 and began the long process of restoration that continues to this day.
