One of the most attractive aspects of living or traveling to Goldfield is its genuine historical environment. Many of the buildings in Goldfield were constructed during the mining boom and serve to remind residents of the early pioneer days. Goldfield’s 112 historical sites were placed on the national register in 1985.
The residents of Goldfield and Esmeralda County have put a high priority on the preservation and restoration of the County Courthouse, the Firehouse, the old High School and the Goldfield Hotel. The residents of Esmeralda County recognize the significance of all the historic structures within Goldfield, but these four buildings are the most prominent and widely known. The restoration and eventual use of these buildings will be the first step in a preservation of all historic structures.
