I've been on a lot of different mine tours over the years (this was my first lead mine), but this one was one of the best. While the mine itself was not the most memorable, the way that the tour guide tied the local history to the mine along with the artifacts we were shown gave a picture of the life of the miners and of how the area had developed which is missing from so many other mines. Fantastic! Not only did we have a great time, but I could imagine stopping in again in the future as we pass through the area.
Worth it just for the impressively professional and knowledgeable tour guides. Yes you actually get to go into the mine.
Cool stuff and great guides.
This place was great. Tons of interesting old relics in the museum to explore and then down into a real lead mine from the 1830s! Our tour guide was knowledgeable and fun and the mine itself is super cool (literally, it's pretty far underground). Just stumbled on this place as we were passing through, but I would suggest seeking it out if you can.
Loved the tour were from the area have only been there 1 other time. This time we took my 11 year old daughter and my family from rockford and they loved it.
