Review:
Located just 2 miles northeast of Silverton, the Mayflower Gold Mill is one of the last remaining precious metal mills not in total disrepair. A National Historic Landmark, this beautifully preserved metal mill offers visitors a look inside the area’s rich mining history, showcasing firsthand how miners were able to extract silver, gold, and base metals from hard rock ores. The mill features summer tours with demonstrations of its floatation technology, operation, and the major preservation project that is currently underway. Visitors will also have the chance to see how silver and gold were processed after the ore was removed from the mine.
