Sierra Silver Mine Tour

Go Underground! A retired miner is your guide as you walk through the main drift of a real silver mine. Your guide will demonstrate the operation of pneumatic powered mining, and share his personal mining experiences as you learn about the modern and historical methods of hard-rock silver mining. On the way to and from the mine, hop aboard Sierra Silver's trolley for a narrated tour of Historic Wallace, Idaho, the Silver Capital of the World that will give you a look into the colorful history of this 135 year old mining camp. Open 7 days a week. June, July & Aug 10-4, May, Sept & Mid-Oct 10-2. A new tour starts every 1/2 and takes 1hr & 15 min. Following your underground adventure, treat yourself to a delicious ice cream or milkshake in our old fashioned ice cream parlor, or try you luck at gold or gemstone panning in out sluice!
