Great tour of the mill and small area of mining tunnel. Excellent tour guide. If you are looking for a tour of inside the mining tunnels you will be disappointed since this tour only shows you about 100 feet of tunnel due to a flood back in the day. But this does not take away from how great everything else was and the history of this place.

The tour was amazing! Lots of historical information. Will was full of energy and humor, very knowledgeable. He answered very patiently and friendly all questions of my 7 year old son. Thanks a lot!

My husband was the one who wanted to go on the tour. I tagged along to be a good sport. I Iearned a lot from our guide, Rachel. She had lots of interesting information and shared it in an entertaining manner, despite some difficult patrons. I enjoyed hearing about the history of the tunnel and the mill and am really glad I tagged along!
