 Gold Mine Street

At the intersection Highway 15 and Gold Mine street, or state route 1010, a marker signifies the importance of the area and the name of the street. This marker, erected by the Virginia Historic Society, describes the gold rush that occurred in the area before the California gold rush in 1849. The area was the most notable in terms of gold before the rush occurred in California. A mine named Morrow Mine, which was located in the area, was one of the earliest mines that opened in which gold mining was employed. Many un-worked mines lie nearby. There were a number of worked and un-worked goldmines in the area, hence the name Goldmine Street.
