| The Wallace District Mining Museum captures the impact of
mining history with artifacts and exhibits depicting the hardships, toil
and home life of the period.
Mining gradually made the transition from oil lamps, candles and hand steel to modern techniques. In the Coeur d'Alene District, veins run deep and are often narrow, requiring labor intensive methods right up to recent times. An exhibit of photographs and commissioned paintings helps bring the reality of the early days to light. |
