Mines in Joshua Tree National Park
D.D. Trent Prof. Emeritus Citrus College By the time the California Gold Rush hit in 1849, prospectors were already finding gold in Southern California.

Bring your lunch, bring your friends, or just bring yourself to our Brown Bag Lunch Lecture Series on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays in July, August and September. Speakers will present topics of special interest for high desert residents. The lectures start at 12:00 noon. Admission is $ 5 - Free for members - Beverages will be served.
