Below the Surface

"Below the Surface: How mining altered Colorado's social and cultural landscape" is an exhibit that aims to dig deeper, revealing the lesser-known stories of the gold, silver, and coal mining rushes in Colorado. Visitors will find that the development of the mining industry in this region altered the course of its history, creating opportunity for some and difficulty for others.
