The mine tour is just a short distance into what was a haul tunnel. The mill was very good and had a lot of equipment that is hard to find today is still preserved in the mill. The tour guide was great in giving information and interacting with the group.

The Argo Mill and Mine tour was an awesome experience for my wife and I. Brooks was our tour guide and he did a great job explaining in great detail the history of the The Argo Mill and Mine. Highly recommended!
