Rockin’ & Rollin’ Geology Train

July 6 @ 4:30 pm - 6:00 pm

Rockin’ & Rollin’ Geology Train

But wait…remember back in 6th grade science class when they talked about that big blob of molten Earth swirling around in space? That is, until it cooled enough to support fast-food franchises, legos, and other evidence of advanced life forms. Why, with all of that swirling around, did all of that copper, gold, and silver coagulate here, in the Robinson Mining District, for us to dig out and use to build a nation?

We won’t solve all of the Earth’s great mysteries on this trip, but we will have a lively presentation by a local geologist talking about the mining history here, how railway entered the picture, and a show and tell with real ore samples.
