This is the hallway back to the bathrooms, those are stone walls and we are in the mine shaft.
This museum was built totally underground with tunnels blasted out of the mountain by hard rock miners once employed by area mining companies. Exhibits recreate the experience of working in an underground mine and guided tours are led by retired miners who explain equipment and methods of mining. Our tour guide was a retired miner who could tell us all kind of stories about working in the mine. He was really a great guide.
