Detailed explanation-1: -Incorporated on December 21, 1833, Dahlonega was the site of the first significant gold rush in the United States. Between 1838 and 1861, a U.S. Branch Mint produced the Half Eagle, Quarter Eagle, Gold Dollar, and the Three Dollar Gold coins locally.
Detailed explanation-2: -Congress soon authorized the establishment of the federal Branch Mint at Dahlonega, and in 1838 the new mint went into operation. It coined more than $100, 000 worth of gold in its first year, and by the time it closed in 1861, it had produced almost 1.5 million gold coins with a face value of more than $6 million.
Detailed explanation-3: -Gold was first discovered in the Dahlonega area in 1828, twenty years before the Gold Rush to California. When it was discovered it was completely by accident – when a deer hunter, Benjamin Parks, tripped over a rock 2 ½ miles south of what is now Dahlonega.
Detailed explanation-4: -Established in 1847, Crisson Gold Mine at 2736 Morrison Moore Parkway East is what’s called an “open pit” gold mine. Explore antique gold mining machines at the site, including a 125-year-old stamp mill that’s still used today to crush quartz rock into ore.
