Western Museum of Mining & Industry, Mining industry museum in Colorado Springs, United States.
The Western Museum of Mining & Industry is a museum in Colorado Springs dedicated to mining history and technology. It houses thousands of artifacts and machines that show how mining was done in earlier times.
The museum was founded in 1970 to preserve the mining history of the region. It documents how mining technology changed from the early gold discoveries at Pike's Peak to modern extraction methods.
The Reynolds House, a Victorian farmhouse built in 1890, shows how early settlers lived and the architectural choices they made for their homes.
