New Mexico Mining Museum

The New Mexico Mining Museum in Grants offers visitors an informative look into the area's uranium mining history. The museum features exhibits that showcase mining equipment, geological samples, and historical photographs, providing context to the region's mining industry. Visitors appreciate the educational value, particularly the recreated underground mine experience, which gives a sense of what miners faced in their daily work. The museum's staff are often noted for their knowledge and willingness to answer questions. However, some guests mention that the exhibits could benefit from updating and expansion. The museum is relatively small, which some find limits the depth of information provided. Despite its compact size, many visitors find it a worthwhile stop for those interested in local history or mining. The museum's location in a former mining town adds authenticity to the experience, though some reviewers note that it may not appeal to those without a specific interest in mining or local history.
