We recently traveled to Bohemia Mountain which sits nestled in the Cascade Mountain Range in the Umpqua National Forest about 25 miles southeast of Cottage Grove, OR. Near Bohemia Mountain is the ghost town of Bohemia City which once consisted of houses, hotels and a saloon, but now only an old post office (1893-1922) and some mining equipment remain, as well as the now closed off Musick Mine. The first gold in this area was discovered in 1858. In 1863 Bohemia Johnson (an outlaw who was on the run for killing an American Indian in Roseburg) found lode gold while dressing a deer. He and some other miners formed the mining district in 1867. Musick Mine was named after James Musick who came to mine the area in 1891 and discovered more gold in the area. The area is known to have been mined for gold, silver, lead, copper, and zinc.
