Description
BLACK DIAMOND MINES REGIONAL PRESERVE - Join staff for an exploration of the underground here at Black Diamond Mines. In the late 19th century, people from around the world arrived here in search of a new life and new opportunities. Deep beneath the surface was a rock that would power the young state of California. Discover the toils, triumphs, and tragedies embedded in these hills as we explore a replica coal mine.
Must be 7+ years old to attend the mine tour. Hard hats will be provided. Please be prepared for hot temperatures outside, and cool temperatures underground.
