Old Molson town, located in the northeastern corner of Washington State, just 40 minutes from The Sun Cove Resort, holds a unique place in the annals of the American frontier. Its story begins in the late 19th century when prospectors, drawn by rumors of gold in the region, flocked to the area in search of fortune. With the arrival of the railroad in 1901, Molson experienced rapid growth as miners, homesteaders, and entrepreneurs poured in, eager to capitalize on the burgeoning opportunities.

 Gold was indeed found in the surrounding hills, and Molson quickly became a bustling mining community. By 1903, the town boasted a population of over 300, with numerous businesses, saloons, hotels, and even a newspaper, "The Molson Leader," serving the burgeoning population.

Today, Old Molson Town stands as a testament to the resilience and spirit of America's pioneers. Visitors can wander its streets, explore its restored buildings, and imagine the lives of those who once called this remote corner of Washington home. Though its golden age may have passed, the legacy of Old Molson Town continues to shine brightly in the collective memory of the Pacific Northwest.
