DESCRIPTION:\nORE TO OPULENCE\nCalifornia Silver in the Gilded Age\n\nThe Seymour 
 Pioneer Museum is proud to present Ore to Opulence: California Silver in 
 the Gilded Age, on view from June 19 to October 4, 2003.  Trace the history 
 of silver from the discovery of the Comstock Lode in Nevada in 1859 to the 
 big bonanzas of the following three decades.  Take a closer look at the 
 miners, the "bonanza kings," and the boom and bust cycles centered on the 
 largest mining strike in U.S. history.  This exhibit features many silver 
 pieces, most crafted from Comstock ore in the shops of San Francisco's 
 greatest silver makers, Vanderslice & Co., Shreve & Co., and Schultz and 
 Fisher, and highlighting the silver service of H.G. Blasdel, Governor of 
 Nevada, who acquired a dazzling array of flatware, compotes, serving 
 dishes, and goblets from the leading makers to embellish the table of his 
 San Francisco home.  Ore to Opulence captures the greed, glamour, and 
 glitter of what Mark Twain ironically termed, the "Gilded Age."\n\nThe 
 Society of California Pioneers is the state's oldest historical 
 organization.  It was founded in 1850 by pre-Gold Rush pioneers.  The 
 Seymour Pioneer Museum, a non-profit museum operated by The Society of 
 California Pioneers, offers free educational programs to Bay Area schools. 
 Dedicated to the preservation, promotion, and enjoyment of California 
 heritage, the Society’s archives include an outstanding collection of 
 19th and early 20th century artwork, artifacts, photographs and 
 manuscripts. The Society also houses the Alice Phelan Sullivan Library and 
 the Moore Gallery, which are open to the public by appointment. \n
