The Blackwater Chronicle is a new history blog from Friends of Blackwater dedicated to uncovering and preserving the stories of Blackwater Canyon and the surrounding region. From early mining communities and railroad towns to the people, places, and events that shaped the landscape, this blog brings together historical research, archival discoveries, and community-sourced stories.

Our goal is to create a living record of the past—so that the history of this region isn’t forgotten, but shared, explored, and carried forward for generations to come.
