Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine Tour

Descending vertically 100 stories into the earth, the Mollie Kathleen Gold Mine Tour explores a mine that operated continuously from 1891 to 1961. The tours are fascinating, sometimes led by a former miner, and definitely not for the claustrophobic. Tours depart about every 30 minutes.
