Eagle Mining Company

By Punita Patel
Just up C Street at the edge of downtown, this genuine 1870s hard-rock gold mine gives a guided walk through about 1,000 feet of lantern-lit tunnels, and kids get to try gold panning. Bring a light jacket even in summer — the mine stays cool underground — and remember it's cash only.
$10 adults, $5 kids (cash only)
