The Arizona Mining and Mineral Museum is an interesting place that provides visitors an opportunity to see some of the history of the Mining Industry in the State of Arizona. The Museum has an incredible amount of minerals and unusual stones on display, all of which have been found here in Arizona. There are also several models on of various types of mining operations. The director of ARPA, Steve Trussell asked me to begin gathering items to be used in a new aggregate mining operation model that will be on exhibit at the museum. He suggested that before I started work on the model I should first visit the Museum to view the other mining exhibits. The attention to detail in the copper mining exhibit is very impressive. The Mining Museum is an great place to visit, although a prior interest in mining history and minerals is probably a prerequisite.
