South Park City, Open-air mining museum in Fairplay, US.
The South Park City Museum contains thirty-four restored buildings and more than 60,000 artifacts representing life in a Colorado mining town.
During the 1800s mining rush, numerous buildings from abandoned camps across South Park's 900-square-mile basin were relocated to create this museum site.
The museum maintains period-accurate displays inside each building, including the 1879 South Park Brewery and Simpkin's General Store with original merchandise.
The museum operates seasonally from May through October, with extended hours from Memorial Day to Labor Day, and provides guided tours for groups.
Visitors can explore the complete layout of a nineteenth-century mining settlement, including a bank, drugstore, and fully stocked general store.
