Did you hear the latest announcement?

Our mission is to educate and preserve the rich golden heritage of North Carolina! We've been doing this through the annual NC Gold Festival since 2004, but we want to expand our knowledge!

This year, among other projects we are starting a quarterly magazine to spread the word about what a treasure North Carolina really is.

The NC Gold Heritage Journal premiere issue will arrive in October 2024. This issue will give you an inside look at how the NC Gold Foundation was formed, the NC Gold Festival through the years, and what all we have coming up!

The NC Gold Foundation received a donation of land in 2014. It consists of 12 acres and includes the remnants of an original 1800s stamp mill, and Nichols Mine. Some of our goals this year are to make this land appealing as a family area where they can go for a short hike, learn about Vein Mountain's history, and enjoy being in nature together. We have begun the process of making this happen. If you want to help us, check out the Get Involved page.

About

Our mission is simple: preserve & educate about the rich gold heritage of North Carolina!

Events

Join us on November 13 at 11 am or 4 pm for the Community Education Class where you can take a step back in time to see a formerly operating mine shaft, monument to the foundation of this nation's currency at the 1800's stamp mill, and breathe in peace at our new Miner's Meadow Nature Park!

Projects

Our mission is all about gold and its history. We can't do this without your help though. With multiple projects planned, we need you now more than ever to help us keep our history alive!
