Forgotten 1887 Gold & Silver Mine Still Intact

Описание: Join us as we explore the historic Arlington Mine, hidden in the Ruby and Conconully Mining District of Okanogan County, Washington. First worked in 1887, this abandoned gold and silver mine holds over a century of forgotten history — and much of it is still standing.

We begin above ground at the remains of the Arlington Mine Mill, where an original ball mill still stands in place, slowly being reclaimed by the forest. From there, we head underground into the extensive workings of this legendary operation, navigating more than 4,500 feet of tunnels, shafts, drifts, and crosscuts, many of which remain remarkably intact.

What caused this once-productive mine to fall silent? And what still remains hidden inside? Join us as we uncover the story, the artifacts, and the atmosphere of one of Washington’s forgotten mining giants.

Come along as we explore this fascinating piece of Washington State’s mining history. Discover the engineering marvels, historic equipment, and remnants of a once-thriving operation that played a significant role in the region’s development. We'll show you both the surface and underground features of the Arlington Mine, so you don’t miss out on this exciting adventure into the past.

Important Note: As with all mine explorations, please be aware of the dangers and safety risks associated with abandoned mines. Do not attempt to visit these sites without proper safety gear and precautions.
