Boomtown History Conferences

The series of Boomtown History Conferences continues this summer at
the Ely Boomtown History Conference in Ely, Nevada, August 4-8, 2010.


Join us as we celebrate Ely and White Pine County with tours, historical presentations, banquets, and even a ride on a restored steam engine from the Nevada Northern Railway.  

Ely is the perfect place to be in August with mild temperatures in the 80’s during the day and beautiful cool evenings. The altitude is 6300 feet and the town is surrounded by picturesque mountains.  

There are plenty of places to eat, shop, and play when you take a break from the conference activities and we encourage you to visit the Web site for the White Pine Chamber of Commerce at www.whitepinechamber.com to see just how much this historic area has to offer.  

The town will also be hosting Art in the Park on Saturday and Sunday. This popular event draws many visitors from outside the area. The park is located on Aultman Street just a short walk from the Hotel Nevada, Four Sevens Motel, and the Bristlecone Convention Center.  

There’s so much to see and do you may want to extend your stay so you can take advantage of the recreational activities at Cave Lake, or hop in your 4-wheel-drive to tour the nearby ghost towns of Hamilton and Treasure City.   Ely is the place to be August 4-8, 2010, and we look forward to seeing you here!
