Neat history! This old gold mine site is set up as a walking museum from building to building! You can still enter the shaft of the mine about 10 feet, it’s closed off for private use and is still mined today! The temperature change from outside to the few feet in the mine shaft is amazing. Definitely worth the venture if you like history at all!
