Nederland Mining Museum

This small museum gives a peek into the 19th-century mining industry history in Nederland, the reason why the town exists. Heavy machinery, rusting tools and photos are displayed inside and out. At 2pm a staffer gives a talk about hard-rock mining, including real-life stories, which provides interesting context. Worth a quick stop.
