History
Silverton came into being after miners discovered galena, lead and silver there.
It would become a community with three general stores, six hotels, a school and a phone connection by the 1890s.
Silverton almost became a ghost town when mining activity declined, but it persisted.
Today the Silverton Historical Society tells its story.
