Tonopah Historic Mining Park, Historical mining park in Tonopah, United States.
The Tonopah Historic Mining Park spans 113 acres featuring original mining sites, buildings, tunnels, and equipment from the silver mining era.
The discovery of silver in 1900 by Jim Butler led to the establishment of four major mining operations that transformed Tonopah into a significant mining center.
The park preserves the industrial legacy through its mineral collection, photographic archives, and authentic mining structures that shaped Nevada's development.
The park operates daily from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, offering self-guided tours at $5 for adults and $3 for seniors, children, and Nevada residents.
Visitors can look down a 500-foot deep stope through a steel viewing cage in the Burro Tunnel, experiencing the depth of historical mining operations.

Nevada offers far more than the casinos of Las Vegas and Reno. The Clown Motel in Tonopah houses an unusual collection, while the Neon Boneyard in Las Vegas preserves historic electric signs. The Pinball Hall of Fame displays machines spanning several decades, and the International Car Forest near Goldfield presents painted vehicles as outdoor art. History seekers can explore the ghost town of Rhyolite near Beatty with its abandoned mining era buildings and the Pioneer Saloon in Goodsprings, a working tavern since 1913.
