Igniting Curiosity. Preserving Legacy. Powering the Future.

At the National Mining Hall of Fame and Museum, we celebrate the people, the passion, and the progress that make mining the backbone of modern life. From the copper in our phones to the steel in our cities, mining connects us all.

Our mission is to ignite curiosity and raise awareness about this vital industry through inspiring exhibits, hands-on learning, and unforgettable stories of innovation and perseverance.
