The Tonopah Historic
Mining Park
Tonopah
Queen of the Silver Camps is home to the Tonopah Mining Museum.
The 100 acre mining park and museum is dedicated to preserving
Nevada's rich mining history. Visitors are free to roam around
and explore the many historic buildings and artifacts. An underground
tunnel has been restored where you can look down the shaft
into the richest mine in the Tonopah District. The park also
contains the last remaining structure, a trestle, from the
Tonopah and Goldfield Railroad. Half the fun of exploring the
park is discovering interesting things around each corner.
The museum has lots to offer for history buffs or is a great
place to spend the day and learn about mining in the Silver
State.
