“Great place to see amateur productions done well. Bring a picnic and comfy chairs. Doors open at 630 with play starting at 8. Don't forget a jacket, temps drop when the sun goes down”
“Took the guided tour at the Kennedy Gold Mine. Both myself and my boyfriend had not been to the Kennedy Mine other than passing by it when in the area. They have a large outdoor area that has some of the old equipment on display. There is also a small museum area and gift shop. They have a cute little area with trinkets you can purchase. They staff was very friendly, greeted us with a warm welcome when we arrived. We had about a half hour before our tour started so we browsed the museum. There is a restroom located outside the museum in a building just across the walk way.
Our tour was just over 90 minutes and our guide was extremely knowledgeable. The tour started in the museum, we watched a video on the mine as well as learned about the placer mining and hydro mining. We visited a few buildings around the property, saw how the large rock grinders work and the machinery used to extract the gold from the sand. How they tested samples.
We were able to see the engineers office, the pay station, safe, office and bunk house.
They have a small building dedicated to the 47 lost in Argonaut mine.
It was really cool seeing all the machines they used and getting a history of the Mine back in its operating days.”
