History: The Gold King Mansion was built in the late 1920's as the residence for the foreman of the Gold King mine. The mine did not produce enough ore to sustain the operation and the 1929 stock market crash killed the operation.
The Gold King Mansion is a Historic Site. As such, you cannot dig up artifacts, use a metal detector, or vandalize the site. Many local hikers use the area and the BLM office at Kingman has it under its jurisdiction. The BLM office also has current information as to road conditions and site conditions.
