Mark Twain Days | Have A Beer With Bulette

About this event

Join Kim Harris as she plays the role of Julia Bulette, the famous folk figure from Virginia City. Julia C. Bulette was perhaps Virginia City’s most infamous “working girl”, as well as a cherished member of Virginia Company #1’s volunteer fire department. In her own words, Julia will share with her audience, a world so often misunderstood, with dignity and insight. She will tell of her most exciting life in which she was welcomed at society venues such as Maguire’s Opera House, yet shunned on the street by the local women citizens. And, she will recount her scandalous murder and what became of the man blamed for it. Kim Harris is an accomplished Chautauquan who has portrayed living history characters at various venues including Genoa Western Heritage Days, Pipers Opera House, the Gold Hill Hotel, the Odeon Saloon, Dangberg Historic Park and The Lake Tahoe Chautauqua Festival. Harris currently serves as Events and Education Manager at Dangberg Home Ranch Historic Park in Minden, NV, and is the owner and operator of Western History ALIVE! where she portrays several Chautauqua characters including Calamity Jane, Lizzie Borden and Libbie Bacon Custer. Pop into The Fox’s Mark Twain Room to enjoy a Langhorn Lager and a bite while Julia speaks about her relationship with Twain and her other experiences in Virginia City.
