Review for World Museum of Mining Inc, Butte, MT, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I used to go to the World Museum of Mining with my parents and always took relatives along whenever they visited. I still smile as I recall the experiences and remember the excitement I felt whenever we took the trip "up the hill". Therefore when I was asked some years ago if I would be interested in joining the board of directors I was thrilled to be able to help preserve this experince for others and improve on an already fantastic historical treasure. The museum seems to improve every year and with the addition of the underground tour where you actually get to experience what the miners felt as they went down in the mines the museum is unsurpassed for providing a living walk back in time for all who venture in. I recommend a trip to the museum for anyone visitng Butte and also for anyone who lives in Butte and hasn't been there lately. There's always something new to discover. Also, the museum has more than 14,000 photos in the photo archives that are truly incredible to see. The staff and volunteers that manage this collection are extremely dedicated and will make your visit one you will never forget.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

One of my favorite things to do is watch the school children as they come in for tours. Seeing them enjoy history and learn from all that the museum has to offer is truly rewarding.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Find ways to provide more resources. THere is always more to be done and with the energy level at the museeum and the enthusiasm of the staff and the volunteers, the only limiting factor is funding.

Role:  Board Member & Helped with various projects and watched as the Museum continues to grow and improve.
