Silver was discovered on the Grant Range in May of 1867. By that summer the camp Troy was founded. Later that year Old English Gold Corporation bought up several claims and proceeded to work them. By 1871 Troy had two stores,a boarding house, blacksmith shop, school with a post office and 70 miners with families. The English company spent $500,000 in mining and building a20-stamp mill with furnaces. But as the old story go's low-grade ore produced the fall of Troy. The mill was moved to Ward in White Pine County in 1872. Troy had it's revivals in the 1900's and during 1936-1946. |

March 19th, 2006 trip to get better photos we found the road washed out and a little bit hard to manage at the time. We had to turn around and wait till summer to try again, but I really wanted some pictures of the snow up there. We were at least within a half mile of Troy. |  |
