The North Star Foundation is a citizen's organization formed to assist in the restoration of the North Star House, located in Grass Valley California at the old North Star Mine site. The North Star was one of California's richest gold mines in operation at the turn of the century. On the site are many historic buildings and remains from the mining days. Our focus is the Arts & Crafts style house designed by Julia Morgan called the North Star House (above).
