The museum was founded in 1970, and has been accredited by the American Alliance of Museums since 1979.[1] It is open to the public Mondays through Saturdays. The museum building houses antique mining equipment and steam engines.[2] Some of the pneumatic machines are connected to compressed air so that they can be viewed in actual operation. The museum also includes a recreation of an old assay office[3] and scale models of mines and mills. Outdoor exhibits include live burros, a steam shovel, and an operating stamp mill for gold ore.[4] The museum maintains a research library on mining topics, available by appointment. Other activities at the museum include lectures, rotating exhibits, and a twice-weekly farmers’ market.
