Silver and China: Silver Reef’s Chinese Community

Join Dr. Merritt on June 29th from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the Silver Reef Museum for an event where archaeology and history converge to uncover the largely forgotten story of the Chinese immigrant community in Silver Reef during the 1870s to 1880s. Recent archaeological discoveries help to better understand this community and connect to the broader history of Washington County and the American West. Take advantage of this opportunity to learn from Dr. Merritt’s expertise and uncover this fascinating chapter of local history.
