Video from a trip to Humbug in 2010. Thanks to Dave Burns for the invitation to visit and a tour.
Humbug was a mining town first settled in the 1880's by Charles Champie.
The following sites provide a good history of Humbug and the nearby mining town of Columbia. The sites are courtesy of the American Pioneer & Cemetery Research Project; the histories are by Dave Burns and Neal Du Shay.
