Big Thunder Gold Mine

The Big Thunder Gold Mine was found by 2 immigrant miners in 1892. The mine is rich in history and today offers tours inside the mine. The tours last about an hour and the tour guide gave us an interesting history of the mine and the workers. There is a nice store on site, a mining museum, a restaurant, and they offer other things to do such as gold panning. It was a fun and educational experience. The mine is located in Keystone, South Dakota.
