Truly Something Special

The Sterling Hill Mine Museum

30 Plant Street, Ogdensburg, NJ

The Sterling Hill Mine Museum is the site of the largest Zinc Mine in New Jersey. The Mine closed in 1986 and has been preserved as a museum.

See: http://sterlinghillminingmuseum.org/ for Museum details

=============================================================

The events at the site include a private tour of the Museum and an underground tour of the mine just for GSD members and guests. This two hour tour will be followed by a lunch in an outdoor pavilion provided by the GSD.

After lunch, seven layouts in the area will be available for visits. GSD members are also welcome to spend more time visiting the Museum Store and photographing the extensive collection of hard rock mining equipment that is on display outdoors on the grounds.

In addition to zinc and iron, the rock in this mountain is home to an amazing array of florescent minerals – some that are found nowhere else in the world.

Cost; (Lunch inclusive) Adult: $9; Senior: $8; Under 12: $7.

We will need to know how many tour guides are needed, if you’re planning on attending please e-mail us on how many tickets you will need.
