About this landmark
Plaque text:
Keyesville
From 1853 until 1870 Keyesville was a center of both placer and quartz gold mining. On the knoll just below the townsite may still be seen the outlines of an earthwork fort, built to meet a possible indian attack in 1868. The original Keyes mine is still active.
