MINING HALL OF FAME

After being incorporated in Colorado in 1977, the National Mining Hall of Fame had raised and spent money on various projects but could not afford to construct a new building. A group of Directors decided to acquire an existing building in a mining community, a permanent site for a landmark location... We are the only national mining museum with a federal charter, approved in 1988. Our location is fitting: We are within a National Historic District in the famous 1880s silver boomtown of Leadville, Colorado... We create awesome experiences by showcasing some of the most riveting mining experiences and exhibits in the country

Primary location: Leadville United States
