The Sierra Silver Mine Tour is a guided tour of the Sierra Silver Mine in Wallace, which was discovered around 1900 and produced 1.2 billion ounces, which were mined by hand. The guided tour is conducted on the Sierra Silver Mine trolley, which travels underground through the main drift of an actual underground silver mine. An experienced miner guide tells the story of the mine and the history of silver mining, the techniques used to mine silver, gold, lead, zinc, and copper, and shares his experiences as a hard-rock miner in the Coeur d’Alene District. The tour also includes demonstrations and exhibits of mining equipment and both historical and modern techniques of mining, and a gift shop sells rocks, regional specialties, and souvenirs.
