Covering a whopping 100 acres, Tonopah Historic Mining Park is located on the site of the original mining claims that started the rush to Tonopah Nevada in 1900, which resulted in the town’s “Queen of the Silver Camps” moniker. You’ll wanna spend hours exploring the buildings and artifacts here, including the underground mine walk and the chance to stand atop a steel grate and peer directly down a 500-foot-deep stope: http://bit.ly/tonopahhmp ⚒️🤠🔦🥈⛰️ 📷: sugar_magnoliaa | Travel Nevada

Final resting ground for many of the men who shaped early Tonopah. This cemetery was in use from 1901 to 1911, during the town’s earliest years. Among those buried here are miners whose lives were tied directly to Tonopah’s rise, including seventeen men lost in the 1911 Belmont Mine fire. Walking this ground is a quiet reminder of how much was given by those who worked below the surface.
