Highlights

This well preserved showcase of late 19th- and early 20th-century commercial structures is evident in a variety of architectural styles, reflected in a wide range of building uses, including ecclesiastical, residential, commercial, and governmental.

History

The earliest settlement (group of about 60 log cabins) served as an adjunct to the booming mining areas, where services and supplies were in great demand. As the economy diversified and stabilized, new enterprises were established to serve the local community, and the downtown became filled with shops, offices, restaurants, banks, and a courthouse.
