Badger Mine & Museum Reviews

This place was great. Tons of interesting old relics in the museum to explore and then down into a real lead mine from the 1830s! Our tour guide was knowledgeable and fun and the mine itself is super cool (literally, it's pretty far underground). Just stumbled on this place as we were passing through, but I would suggest seeking it out if you can.

I really enjoyed the tour. Ian was very knowledgeable and friendly. I did think that there would be more mine to your/see. However there was enough to make it well worth the trip.

I've been on a lot of different mine tours over the years (this was my first lead mine), but this one was one of the best. While the mine itself was not the most memorable, the way that the tour guide tied the local history to the mine along with the artifacts we were shown gave a picture of the life of the miners and of how the area had developed which is missing from so many other mines. Fantastic! Not only did we have a great time, but I could imagine stopping in again in the future as we pass through the area.

What a neat place to visit off the beaten path! The museum is small but has some interesting artifacts. The tour guides are very informative and friendly and the mine itself is quite interesting to see too. It really takes you back in time and let's you experience the haydays of the American Miners.
