See our diamond dust mirror, large collection of mining artifacts, themed-rooms, and old-fashioned doctor's office! Outside during the sunny summer, you can pan for real gold and gems. The panning trough is open daily from Memorial Day to the end of September, weather allowing. The museum also displays memorabilia once owned by famous journalist, author and world traveler, Lowell Thomas. A free video featuring Thomas is playing our media room.
