Mining Museum
Though it's just on the outskirts of Chihuahua, the historic hillside mining village of Santa Eulalia feels worlds away. The area's first silver was dug out of these mountains in the 17th century and the mines are still going strong. The library (the new orange building) has a little Mining Museum.

The seldom-visited Museo Tariké near Quinta Luz covers the history of the city. The old photos are generally more interesting than the exhibits (labeled in Spanish only), but the rolling toilet used by miners is alone worth the trip.
