As the title says, its a fun place to visit and has very interesting info that is not only for local history but for mining in Colorado in general. Very much worth the time. More

My 8 year old son can't get enough of this museum. It is wonderful. More

I live a short distance away and never knew this gem was here. For anyone interested in geology, minerals or mining, this is a treasure trove of information and enjoyment. It is a large museum-allow 2 hours- filled with well designed and executed exbibits that will appeal to kids 8 to 88. The thousands of various minerals on display are... More

There is extensive mining history, both of gold as well as more utilitarian minerals such as coal, lead, etc. The exhibits are not confined to U.S. mining; one of the most interesting was... More
