The North Star Historic Conservancy presents a series of educational events every year. As we make plans for our 2020 Educational Series, we are looking for people interested in lending a hand with coordinating presentations. This may include setup, greeting attendees, and generally ensuring the event goes smoothly. The presentations are typically two hours, from either 1- 3pm or 2 – 4pm on a Sunday afternoon. Our Events Team would appreciate a helping hand.

Please contact Event Chair Betzi Hart for more information at thenorthstarhouse@gmail.com or 530-477-7126.

North Star House Open to the Public

Posted by Susan Kane on
 April 3, 2019
  · No Comments

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.

Visitors are welcome to sign the Guest Book and to learn about becoming a Volunteer. Students of all ages are welcome!

Looking for House Docents to Share Our Story

Posted by Susan Kane on
 March 13, 2019
  · No Comments

North Star House Docents tell our story to the visiting public. We are the voice of the Foote Family, Julia Morgan and the North Star Historic Conservancy.

The North Star House docents are trained volunteers who act as a knowledgeable visitors’ guide to further the public understanding of the North Star Historic Conservancy, the Julia Morgan designed North Star House and the surrounding property.

Docents greet visitors and provide an informal tour of the house answering questions about the house, the Foote family and the North Star Historic Conservancy. They serve a 3 hour Saturday morning shift once a month from April through October. Docents also have the opportunity to volunteer for NSHC events and specially arranged tours of the house. We are a friendly group who have several social events during the year.

Please contact us if you would like to find out more about this volunteer opportunity.

If you love history and architecture, this is a job for you.
