New Mexico Mining Museum

Don’t Miss this place, This is truly a hidden gem.nI’m so glad we found this place! Super interesting and the folks here are so friendly, we met “Jack Farley” a Local Retired Uranium Miner who worked the mines for over 40 years and chatted with him for about half an hour plus they have an underground replica of the Uranium Mine below the Museum, Super Cool! We absolutely Loved it!

So Awesome! Wish we had more time to watch more videos. Tour is so informative. Stone, the guide, is fantastic. Very inexpensive, especially for seniors on tight budgets. Would recommend this place as a must see.

The staff is great, the museum is small and does not have much. Clean and well presented though

A really great time. Kind and knowledgeable young man, Stone Gonzales, made visiting a memorable time. From movies above to the hands on experience below, you can feel and imagine the way of mining life for the many men. I would recommend this for anyone and kids too.

We have been to several mining Museums similar to this but this is one of the best ones we have been to. It was well displayed in the lower level where it was set up much the way the miners actually experienced their work days. It had displays of rocks, baskets, pottery as well as fossils found during the mining. What made it even better was the person selling tickets, Tammy, provided us with interesting additional information about the museum as well as great insight of things to do in the area. She was awesome.
