A guided tour reveals the colorful labor history of miners, pipefitters, carpenters, hoist operators and trainmen. Also on display is the B.A. & P. “Cow & Calf”, a restored G.E. 1909 heavy haul electric locomotive & cars. The mine yard and surrounding Historic District was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1961. The Anselmo is open mid-June to mid-August Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
