Mining Museum

We ventured to the Rollo Jamison Muesum and the Mining Musuem in Platteville today. The boys learned all about "old stuff" and the history of lead mining in Platteville. We toured the Rollo Jamison Museum, which is essentially one man's collection of stuff from the early 20th Century. We then all went down into the mine, which the boys enjoyed - though they complained about the coldness. The grand finale was a small train ride around the grounds of the mine. Enjoy the photos.

Jonah wasn't so sure about the train ride.
