Museum

Soak in the rich history we have here in Nevada County around film & video. From the tech to the creative. Our 10,000 sq ft production facility has a ton of history that continues to be made each day. Come explore the museum Monday through Thursday 10-4.

Technically Improbable

In 1973, Dr. Donald Hare’s company, the Grass Valley Group, was sold to Tektronix. This set off decades of innovation in television production technology. This documentary series attempts to answer the question of how high technology happened in and around Grass Valley.

Recording the Stories

The story of how we got here is important and exciting. Nevada County Media will be recording stories each month. If you are interested in sharing a few, let us know.
