Kennedy Mine Historic District - Jackson, CA - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

"The Kennedy Mine was bordered to the north by the Oneida Quartz Mine across Jackson Gate Road. Founded in 1851, the Oneida was one of the first quartz mining claims in the area. Although not as successful as the Kennedy Mine, it remained in operation for over 60 years, closing in 1914. The Kennedy and Oneida Mines are representative of how adjoining quartz claims were staked along the Mother Lode to cover the gold-bearing vein system. The Mother Lode extends for over 120 miles in a north-south direction from Georgetown to Mariposa. Centrally located, Amador County became known as the "Heart of the Mother Lode." Some of the resources now located on the Kennedy Mine property, although historic, do not relate to the mining activities. An example of this is the St. Peter and Paul Church. These "non-mining" resources are included in this application as they are now part of the Kennedy Mine property." (visit link)
