Aguereberry Mining Camp
Trip Stop:
Narrative:
Established by old-time prospector Shorty Harris and his greenhorn partner Pete Aguereberry in 1905 in order to mine the gold out of the hills behind it. The boom was rather short-lived, and when the mine’s output decreased, Shorty and the rest of the miners left. However, Pete Aguereberry remained, and worked the mine for some 40 more years until his death in 1945. The original cabin that he built and lived in is still on the site. The buildings in the front were built in the 1940's as guest houses.
