Kimberley is full of mining history. Don't miss the Bavarian City Mining Railway tour in the summer! It is one of the most unique tours of its kind in the world. The train takes you into an actual mining shaft with real miners showing demonstration of various mining techniques. The real miners are a real hit for all and make sure to ask them lots of questions as they have interesting tales to share of life underground. Kimberley, British Columbia not only makes a great history tour in the Summer but also you can find some of the mining history on the slopes of Kimberley Alpine Resort. It is great fun for kids to enjoy the wonderful ski trails through the trees to find the various mining shafts that dot the mountain. Make sure and do not enter them but take in the view from outside the shaft/cave for your safety.

Kids love mining history- Kimberley Alpine Resort, one place in Canada where you can view History of mining on the ski slopes

 

 

More details on Kimberley, British Columbia history:

The history of Kimberley dates back to the summer of 1891with the discovery of Galena at the North Star Mine, which is now the location of the popular Kimberley Alpine Resort.  In 1892 four prospectors, E.C. Smith, John Cleaver, Pat Sullivan and Walter Burchette discovered a high-grade out crop of minerals to the west of the North Star Mine that became known as the famous Sullivan Mine.  Pat Sullivan, after whom the mine was named, never lived to see the great riches that the mine had to offer as he was killed in a mining accident in Idaho in 1896.
