NORTH STAR HOUSE AND VENUE

The Stars at the North Star concert is held on the 14-acre grounds of the North Star House.  The event takes place on the spectacular rolling landscape with the house as a backdrop.  The grounds can accommodate up to 2,000 attendees in lawn seating.

The historic house was designed by Julia Morgan, the architect famed for designing Hearst Castle at San Simeon, the Asilomar Conference Center and many private estates across California. The 1906 North Star House was Morgan's first residential commission. The home was the residence of North Star Mine Superintendent Arthur De Winte Foote and his wife, author and illustrator of pioneering women in the West, Mary Hallock Foote.   It was used as a hospitality center for investors and innovators in our local gold mining industry.
 
The house is currently under historic renovation with plans to become a community event facility.  Since the beginning of the restoration process almost a decade ago, hundreds of volunteers have worked passionately on this community project.  The restoration is being managed by the North Star Historic Conservancy.
