Western Museum of Mining and IndustryThe Western Museum of Mining and Industry (WMMI) is committed to preserving and interpreting the rich mining history of Colorado and the American West. Open since 1970, WMMI proudly features working machinery, a model mining drift and gold panning stations in the 12,200 square foot exhibit hall, plus historic buildings and machinery on our beautiful 27 acre campus.
Volunteers could participate in the following ways.
Most urgently, volunteers are needed for our annual Miners Pumpkin Patch, to work with the public in our patch, as well as assisting with parking etc. every Saturday in October. A free meal will be provided for lunch. We also, less urgently are looking for year-round volunteers to lead tours, and machine maintenance for anyone with a mining or engineering background.
Minimum age requirement is 18
