Argo Mill and Tunnel
Soon after 1859, when Colorado's first gold was struck in Idaho Springs, CO, the Argo and surrounding area became an international center of milling and tunneling innovation. Today, a portion of the tunnel and a vast amount of the Mill's original equipment are still in place and available for the public. The Argo offers guided walking tours of the site, with gold panning demonstrations at the end of each tour. Take a piece of the Argo home and grab a souvenir at the Mercantile. Visit argomilltour.com for more information. Group Tours are available Call 202-567-2421.
The ARGO mill and tunnel is a really cool historical site. Seeing the way people worked in a place like that really gave me a positive perspective on my own job and struggles. The tour guide was very friendly, she helped to keep my kids safe but still let them be kids. I would recommend Chris H. - TripAdvisor
