Delaware Copper Mine Tours An authentic copper mine that operated from 1847 to 1887, visitors descend 100 feet down a sloping shaft to the first level of the mine to see how copper was mined during the country's first major mining boom. The mine has been left virtually untouched since its 1887 closure.
