Haunted Mine Tours

Our region is replete with 19th-century ghost stories, many of them passed down by the rowdy, tough, dangerous men whose job it was to mine lead – immigrants from Ireland, Wales, and Cornwall, from Germany and the American South. What more fitting place to experience the spine-tingling chills of ghost stories than 45 feet underground in a real 1845 lead mine at The Mining & Rollo Jamison Museums? Experience Platteville’s spookiest Halloween tradition! Descend deep into the 1845 Bevans Mine for a lantern lit tour to discover historical truths that are stranger than fiction. Haunted Mine Tours will depart every 30 minutes starting at 5:00 p.m. with the final tour departing at 9:00 p.m. Tours often sell out so reservations are highly recommended.
