North Star House is seeking a volunteer with equipment maintenance or repair experience to help with minor repairs and routine maintenance on our tractor, mower, utility vehicle, and golf cart.

North Star House as we know it today exists because a group of community members saw possibility in a place that was, at the time, in serious danger of being lost.

North Star House made several appearances in the latest issue of Nevada County Gold Magazine, and we loved seeing the property highlighted in so many different ways.

North Star House grounds filled with families, friends, creativity, and a little bit of magic for our 2026 Midsummer Festival, presented in collaboration with the Nevada County Magicians Guild.

Step into an autumn evening at North Star House with a Minuet and Polka demonstration, beginner-friendly dance instruction, light fare, seasonal drinks, and plenty of time to join the dancing. Costumes are encouraged, and all ages and experience levels are welcome.

Joan was involved in nearly every part of North Star House, contributing to historical research, the docent program, events, the website, marketing, and board service. She loved that there was always something new to take on, but what she treasured most was the people.

The Wiley wedding made full use of North Star House, with portraits inside the historic rooms, across the grounds, and among the property’s original architectural details.

Midsummer Festival is almost here, and we still need a few extra hands to help the day run smoothly.

Historic places are built not only by architects and craftsmen, but also by the generations of people who care enough to preserve them.

North Star House celebrates local history supporters seen in the Nevada City Fourth of July Parade, including museums and volunteers.
