The park encompasses portions of four of the original major mining companies and covers more than 100 acres.  This rich history is brought to life through preserved and restored equipment and buildings, historic exhibits, video presentations (in our on-site theater), and a self-guided tour.  All of the buildings located on the property are open for our visitors to enjoy.  You can experience for yourself how it was to work in a turn-of-the-century mine. 

The grounds are constantly changing.  New exhibits are added frequently and restoration of existing buildings is ongoing.  Your membership fees and donations go directly toward expanding our collections and improving your experience.

Mountain bike access is now available in the newly-opened trails system.  Our latest addition is a six-passenger ATV.  Call us at (775) 482-9274 for more information about this vehicle and its availability for tours.

 

The foundation is always looking for volunteers. If you are interested please contact the mining park.
