New Mexico Mining Museum

"Great museum in Grants exploring the local history of the mining industry. There are numerous artifacts and displays on the main floor, but the fascinating part of the museum is on the lower level with its recreation of a mine complete with old mining equipment. Wandering around the replica mine is quite interesting."

"I have 3 Minecraft loving kids, so when we were traveling across the country and I saw a sign for a real mine, we had to stop! We were not disappointed! It was small, taking maybe 30 minutes to walk through, and my kids could not have cared less about the history exhibit upstairs, but we walked that mine down below twice because it was a "real life mine!""

"A very nice museum. We learned a lot about uranium mining in the area. The staff was extra nice. Highly recommended."

"We had a great visit at the museum. The ground level features native artifacts, some as old as 1000+ years, and various mineral samples. We took the elevator to the lower lever mining exhibit, and the stories told by miners themselves (recordings available at each station) were fascinating. You can really appreciate the complexity of technology and the sheer enormity of human labor during the early mining endeavors."

"Very knowledgeable staff. Friendly and helpful. Very interesting to go into the uranium mine replica. They had lots of informative interactive displays."
