From Mines to Murky Depths: The Lost History of Kennett

This is the forgotten story of Kennett, California—an old mining town that once thrived with copper, gold, railroads, and saloons, but now lies buried beneath Lake Shasta. In the late 1880s, George Graves discovered copper near Backbone Creek, sparking a boom that led to the formation of the Mammoth Copper Mining Company and major operations at the Mammoth and Golinsky Mines. With the railroad, the Mammoth smelter, and famous places like the Diamond Saloon, Kennett quickly grew into a bustling town along the Sacramento River. But when mining declined and Shasta Dam was built in 1935, Kennett—along with Copper City, Elmore, and Pitt—was submerged forever. Today, it’s one of California’s lost underwater ghost towns.

IMPORTANT CHANNEL DISCLAIMER: Please note we try to be as accurate as possible when it comes to historical facts, but in many cases facts and figures have become lost or forgotten over the many years. Old photos prior to 1900 are very hard to come by also, so many of the same images are used in various videos. Times and dates get skewed over the years also, as do people and names.
