Priest Mine

The Priest mine is a hard rock mine of the early 1850’s that was all hand dug. The thousands of pick marks left by the miners tell you the real story of the hard life of those that swung the pick. Follow the quartz veins back in time when gold was the master.

 

The Priest Mine is open only for
Special Guided Tours.
