Miners Foundry
Cultural Center
Opened in 1855 to repair and replace machinery
used in the mining camps, Miners Foundry has an
interesting history (page 37). In the 1870s and 80s,
Lester Pelton developed and manufactured his
revolutionary water wheel at the foundry (page 129).
After the turn of the century, everything from ore
cars to the Wee Willie juicer and parts for Hoover
Dam were produced.
Located on Spring Street, Miners Foundry Cultural
Center was first used for a performing arts venue in
the 1970s. Today, it hosts hundreds of yearly events
including concerts, theatre productions and communi-
ty fund raisers. The foundry is the site for events such
as the Nevada City Dance Festival, the Psychic Fair,
Fright Night and the bi-annual Nevada City Craft Fair.
