With Roy Tremoureux

When: Thursday, November 20th 2025 at 7:00 PM.

Where: The Sierra Presbyterian Church located at 175 Ridge Road, Nevada City.

Roy Clinch Tremoureux Jr. will be giving a presentation on his long family history that extended to many branches of pioneers in the Nevada County area and beyond. From Roy’s father being owner of the Alpha Hardware to his great grandfather founding the Clinch Mercantile Co. to his great great grandfathers as newspaper pioneers and building some of the first buildings in Nevada City and more.

You will be able to get a glimpse into a very prominent local family’s history. The talk will feature stories about original local pioneers such as the Watt family of Watt Park, now the Nevada County Fairgrounds. How they helped build some of the original churches in town and their involvement in some of the major mines. The family ties go past just the county level, being a large political powerhouse for many years. Starting with local positions to state level positions and helping multiple governors of California get elected. And yes, the family connections go further across the country to the Supreme Court and even to the White House.

Admission: FREE and open to the public, this event lasts one hour. Free refreshments offered after the presentation. For more information, call or text Daniel Ketcham at (530) 477-8056
