Keno City Mining Museum

Keno City Mining Museum, Mining history museum in Keno City, Canada

The Keno City Mining Museum occupies Jackson Hall and displays mining equipment, tools, and artifacts from over a century of gold and silver operations in the region. The collection covers the main techniques and objects that miners used in their daily work.

The museum opened around 1979 in Jackson Hall, Keno City's former community centre built in 1922. Geologist Terry J. Levicki, who worked for United Keno Hill Mines Ltd. in Elsa, helped establish it. By 1991 it drew roughly 500 visitors a month during its four-month season.

Jackson Hall, built in 1922 as Keno City's community centre, now holds the museum. Its upper floor keeps a large collection of old photographs of the mining district, while a garage across the street stores the bigger pieces, such as large saws used to cut ice blocks and a hand-cranked bucket for raising ore.

The museum occupies Jackson Hall, the former community centre built in 1922, and opens from June to September. The garage across the street holds the larger equipment, while the photograph collection is on the second floor, so allow time for both.

The museum preserves an original telephone exchange switchboard and a 1981 addressograph machine that once processed paychecks for miners. These machines show how administrative work was handled in this isolated location.
