Our tour guide spoke at a good volume everyone could hear. He was very informative and hilarious! Very glad we ended up with him

The young tour guide named Josh was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about relaying the story of the mine and nearby town. The difficult, dangerous, and dirty work the miners endured The amount of minerals in the mines The power of the water flowing in the mountains The ingenuity of the design engineers The pictures of the town and miners, documents (likes paystubs) and numerous every day artifacts from the era give you a connection to life at that time/place.
