Let’s check out the world below: Sterling Hill Mining Museum

This is a special private tour for our group of a unique zinc mine where the fluorescent colors will become apparent under special lights. Make sure your phone is charged to take incredible photos. And, yes, we’ll hear a ghost story or two…

WHAT TO EXPECT:
Visitors will be guided through about 1300 feet of tunnel inside the mine. There are no train rides involved, therefore, it is a walking tour. Along the way, guides will stop at various stations and explain the equipment, history, working conditions, and geology of the mine. Visitors will see the lamp room, the shaft station, mine galleries dating to the 1830's, and much more. The tour is only the first level of the mine, visitors do not go down to any lower levels. We will also tour the onsite museum. For an additional cost, participants can collect rocks (pay onsite for that). There's also a gift shop.
