What you can expect

  • Explore the preserved ruins of the Treadwell Mine, once the largest gold mining operation in the United States. Walk through the original streets of Treadwell, past towering ruins, old mine shafts, and up to the edge of the devastating 1917 cave-in.

    Along the way, experience carefully placed immersive media (AR) scenes that bring key moments of history to life right where they happened.

    Wander past concrete foundations, steel gears, and collapsed buildings tucked into the forest. The tour spans 2–3 miles of scenic walking trails, showcasing a century-old industrial footprint that few visitors ever see.

    Along the way, your guide shares stories of the people who both built and lost this remarkable place. And in select spots, augmented reality brings scenes from the early 1900s to life with full-scale, historically accurate visuals.
