THAMES GOLDMINE EXPERIENCE

A forty-minute guided tour of the Thames mines awaits you here. We take a deep dive into the era of the gold rush (1868-1871 for Thames), its challenges and daily life. The non-profit association preserves and restores this precious ^19th-century heritage and its reconstructions, including a wooden mining machine, identical to those used by the miners, the Stamper Battery. You can also try your luck at gold panning.
