Grass Valley
The mining story continues in the families above the tunnels.
Dedicated town story
Grass Valley interviewees move between workings beneath the streets and families whose relatives lived here during the mining years. The hotel and downtown place those memories inside buildings still receiving people. The inheritance survives in relationships as well as in the places preserved to explain it.
