The Western Museum of Mining and Industry needs volunteers who don't want a regular volunteering schedule but still want to be a part of the museum world! We need volunteers for our upcoming Harvest Festival in October. Events like these are the highlight of the museum's yearly schedule and are guaranteed fun for the volunteers and guests! Volunteers for Parking, the Pumpkin Patch, Cider Press Demonstrations, Hayride Helpers, and Set Up/Clean Up are needed. So if you have some free time and you would like to help out, without the 'regular' commitment of a scheduled volunteer position...PLEASE think about helping The Western Museum of Mining and Industry by volunteering for our Special Events Team! We need you and so does your community! Please call Loretta at 488-0880 for more information.

Mission Statement
Established in 1970, the Western Museum of Mining and Industry (WMMI) is a private nonprofit, 501(c) 3 whose mission is to preserve, collect and interpret the rich mining history and related industries of Colorado and the American West.
Description
Unique to WMMI is the actual operation of its carefully restored multi-ton steam engines and mining machines. The emphasis of the museum's collections is on the technology and technological history of mining and metallurgy, as well as the social history of the American West. Over 4,000 artifacts are on display at the 27-acre indoor/outdoor exhibit site, which includes a working hoist house; mine blacksmith shop; ten stamp mill; and multi-purpose center with exhibits, theater and a 13,000 volume research library.
