Argo Gold Mine & Mill, Idaho Springs, Colorado Postcard
- from our Affiliates
While visiting family in Colorado, they took us to the small town of Idaho Springs. Here we saw the old Argo Gold Mine & Mill that was a gold mill built at the entrance of the Argo Tunnel. The tunnel was built between 1893 and 1910, and it was one of the largest tunnels & milling operations in the world during that time. It's now a tourist attraction & museum to preserve the memory of the Colorado gold rush mines. Photo taken January 2009.
