It's no coincidence that the word "muse" is in "museum!" Mining Museum aims to inspire, educate and entertain its visitors, so find a spot for it on your to-do list.
This museum is in Platteville, a place that has plenty of things going for it! University of Wisconsin-Platteville, and Rollo Jamison Museum are other interesting sightseeing options not far away when you're done at Mining Museum.
