Located on the site of the original mining claims that made Tonopah 'Queen of the Silver Camps' is the Tonopah Historic Mining Park, named 'Best Museum in Rural Nevada' for 4 consecutive years. This 100-acre plus park covers portions of four of the major mining companies. Here the history of mining is preserved. Take a self-guided tour and be transported back into the boom days. Take the Burro Tunnel and you'll find yourself looking down into a 500' deep stope. See the equipment that the miners of old used to extract and process their ore: an ore sorting "grizzly", a five-stamp mill, an ore crusher, a roller mill, and more. Visit the exhibits and displays around the park and enjoy Nevada's great history. Come during Jim Butler Days (Memorial Day weekend) and be a part of the Nevada State Mining Championships.
