We weren't sure what to expect from this little museum, but absolutely LOVED it. They offered a great small tour that was interesting to the adults as well as our 6-year-old. I was shocked at the amount and variety of their displays. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful too. I highly recommed a visit, especially if you are visiting one of the local mines.

A gem of a museum, especially for free! The people who work here are super friendly and helpful. If you love rocks or fossils, stop by! There's a great selection of local and exotic gems.
