Franklin Mineral Museum, Mineral museum in Franklin Furnace, United States.
The Franklin Mineral Museum presents geological specimens, fossils, and a two-level mine replica across multiple exhibition halls and outdoor collection areas.
The museum opened its doors in 1965 to preserve and display the mineral heritage from the Franklin-Sterling Hill mining district in New Jersey.
The zinc mining operations shaped the development of Franklin Furnace, transforming this New Jersey region into a center of geological research.
The museum operates from April through November, offering guided tours at 2 PM, mineral collecting activities, and educational programs for children.
Visitors can search for fluorescent minerals at the Buckwheat rock field and take specimens home through supervised collecting programs.
