We are open for the "Season!" The Mining Museum is currently open Monday through Saturday, 9am to 5pm. Walk through time with the "miners" in timbered passages of a simulated underground gold mine, constructed by over 130 Homestake miners. View historic mining artifacts and local history exhibits. Pan your own gold and visit the gift shop.
