A nonprofit runs this old mine site on the edge of Tonopah, with original structures, equipment and photographs spread over four mining properties. It is a good rainy-hour stop and pairs well with a night in town before a dark-sky evening. Check the park website for opening hours and admission before you go, since both vary by season.
