Shoshone County Mining & Smelting Museum

The museum occupies a two-story American-revival style house constructed in 1906 for Stanly Easton, a Bunker Hill and Sullivan Mine Company executive. The Bunker Hill was one of Idaho's largest employers for most of the company's 94-year existence. It opened in 1986, has twelve rooms of exhibits, a gift shop, outdoor displays including a 73.5 ton Nordberg air compressor, and restrooms. The museum is adjacent to groomed bike trails and close to the Silver Mountain Resort's gondola base. Each year the museum creates a new theme room. The mission of the museum is to preserve the mining, smelting and cultural history of Shoshone County.
