Big Thunder Gold Mine - Keystone, SD
Big Thunder Gold Mine Sign
Have you ever wondered what life was like during the 1880 gold rush? This attraction will bring you back to those exciting times.
About the Tour During the tour of Big Thunder Gold Mine you'll be led by a knowledgeable guide as you experience one of the more prominent gold mines of the booming gold rush. Along the tour you'll not only get a first-hand look at a mine, but also learn more about the people that worked the mine. About Gold Panning The mine was discovered in 1882 and was a working mine until 1914. In 1913 it produced its biggest load and created the slope room. The mine has recently generated even more interest because of the possibility of another vein of ore. And with the Gold Panning option you'll be able to experience your own historic adventure by panning for gold in the stream. You may even strike it rich - and you're guaranteed to find gold! This is fun the whole family can enjoy. About the Tour & Gold Panning Combo As the name implies, this option provides both the guided tour and chance to gold mine for a complete experience that will first introduce you to the world of mining, and then immerse you in it.

This was part of the Mount Rushore Tour but that wasn't made clear until we were about to stop at the mine. So, we had vouchers for the tour scheduled for a different day. Of course, we got to see the mine anyway but the time was short and we ended up with a free day because of not needing to go back for this tour.
