The vision of transforming the North Star House into a cultural event center and museum open to the community is now a reality. The North Star Historic Conservancy is pleased to announce that the North Star House is now open to the public every Tuesday and Thursday from 10am – 1 pm, and every Saturday, May through September, 9am until noon.
Come view this iconic landmark with your friends, family, or business associates.
During the “open house” hours, history docents will be on hand to give informal tours and answer questions about the North Star House, its nationally known architect, Julia Morgan, and its first inhabitants, mining engineer, Arthur DeWint Foote and author and artist, Mary Hallock Foote.
On Tuesdays and Thursdays the construction crew will also be available to explain the renovation plans and process.
The North Star House served as the social headquarters of the North Star Mine, and was where the public and investors were invited to meet and greet. This special example of California Craftsman Style architecture is on the National and the California State Historic Buildings Registers.

Squirrel Nut Zippers
Thursday August 1, 2019
Doors: 6:00 PM | Show: 7:30 PM
Presented by The Center for the Arts OnTheGo in partnership with the NORTH STAR HISTORIC CONSERVANCY
The Center for the Arts, Nevada County’s premiere performing arts organization, is undergoing a long-anticipated multi-million dollar renovation! While we prepare to unveil exciting updates to our main facility, The Center’s signature programming will continue through The Center OnTheGo series bringing a variety of diverse acts to creative locations throughout the Foothills.
Between 1995-2000 the Squirrel Nut Zippers sold over three million albums. Old world jazz mixed with Klezmer, Blues, Americana and random bits of contemporary music became the band’s signature style. The group has spent the better part of the last two years shaping its chemistry and honing its sound on the road. Beasts Of Burgundy, released on March 23rd is twelve original new songs from the mind of Jimbo Mathus and the Squirrel Nut Zippers. Opening the show is Earles of Newton, a powerhouse Americana band crafting their tight arrangements of infectious original music around early era Harlem, New Orleans, and “Hot” Jazz, along with Texas and Western Swing, creating a sound all it’s own called simply: “Swingin’ Dixie.” www.snzippers.com
