Big Thunder Gold Mine

Guided tours of an authentic 1890s gold mine. The shafts go down 240 feet, but visitors are kept near the surface in horizontal passages. See the original stamp mill and bell crusher in the Mine Museum! A free lump of Black Hills Gold (ore) for everyone on the tour! [Tammy Robinson, 09/10/2007]
