CELEBRATING 55 YEARS
Education
Many know of Sopris, the sleepy former coal camp along the Purgatoire River in las Animas County, but the Sopris they knew was the remnants of five coal camps with long forgotten history. Genevieve will share the distant history of the formation of the towns, and the mighty mines that created them. The cast of characters are some of America’s wealthiest industrialists, and others who built their fortunes form the abundant coal in the area. And we cannot talk about Colorado coal without talking about Colorado’s miners’ attempts to unionize to have a better life—a deadly task for many. If you are a local resident of Southern Colorado, you are very likely to recognize names of those who once lived in Sopris and were part of the active community before relocating.

Showed up for STEM event and left a fan. This museum is not like any other mining museum i had been to. I working blacksmith and stamp mill was a pleasant touch. Flourscent Blacklight Mineral room is also a winner. Its an affordable and educational experience that is worth the value.
