Gold Hidalgo State Of Mexico

The Mining Museum exhibits machinery, tools, and mineral samples that demonstrate the industrial processes used during the region's mining operations.

The museum occupies buildings from the 17th century mining complex, showcasing the evolution of mining techniques until operations ceased in the mid-20th century.

Exhibits display the social transformation of El Oro from an indigenous Mazahua settlement to a mining town influenced by English and French industrial practices.

The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 18:00, with guided tours available in Spanish that explain the mining extraction methods.

The collection includes original mining carts, processing equipment, and geological specimens extracted from the local gold mines during their productive period.
