Mining Museum

We went to the  Western Mining Museum while we were in Colorado.  Small Bugz had a great time learning about all the things that mining does.

this is what the miners would use for their steam



Then the miners were able to build bigger steam engines and this is one of them.

The building was built around the wheel since it is so large.
