Village of Gold Hill
Historic Gold Hill, North Carolina
New things are happening in the Historic Village of Gold Hill and Gold Hill Mines Historic Park.
**Enjoy a day trip to the restored and revitalized 1800’s gold mining boom town. Your footsteps will echo on the wood sidewalks joining the shops of Gold Hill. If you listen closely you can almost imagine the jingle of spurs from long ago cowboys or listen for the drone of the pumps and picks and shovels from the mines.
Each visit to the village of Gold Hill is a unique experience. Whether it’s shopping & dining, hiking & picnicking, or just a day or night out for fun, Gold Hill has much to offer. As spring approaches the shops will be open Wednesday – Sunday 11AM - 5PM. (Although individual shop hours and days may vary) The music at The E.H. Montgomery continues on Friday evenings, 7-9PM.
Educational tours of the 70 acre Gold Hill Mines Historic Park are available by request as are tours of the village. Gold panning can be arranged by request with the tours of the park. The Gold Hill Rail Trail also provides the opportunity for hiking and/or biking.
Beginning the first weekend in May, Vivian will offer two tours each Saturday and one tour on Sunday afternoons.
You will find Vivian at The E.H. Montgomery General Store.
