Worth a stop.Good material to mine and the mineral displays were rare,outstanding quality and educational. Limited personnel to operate so they're not open every day, just weekends at the moment. Stop in and say hello. Nice and peaceful location nestled along McKinney MINE road.Don't blink!You'll miss it!
