Stamp Mill demonstration at Cave Creek Museum

Stamp Mill demonstration planned for December 11 at Cave Creek Museum
The Cave Creek Museum will offer demonstrations of its stamp mill on December 11, 2021 from 11:00 AM.
Evelyn Johnson, interim executive director, says the museum will start up its incredible stamp mill, water tower, mineral panning, blacksmithing and more that Saturday.
“Cave Creek Museum is proud to feature Arizona’s mining history,” says Johnson. “Our historic stamp mill and tramway is from the Golden Reef Mine on Continental Mountain and is the only one in Arizona within five miles of its original site. We want people to come and experience how gold mining was done. And, check out our exciting new Arizona Gold Mining Experience. This includes an admission to the museum: $7 for adults; $5 for seniors and students.”
The stamp mill will be operated on the second Saturday of each month during the museum’s 2022 season.
The 51-year-old museum’s mission is to preserve the artifacts of the prehistory, history, culture and legacy of the Cave Creek Mining District and the Cave Creek/Carefree foothills area through education, research, and interpretive exhibits. The Cave Creek Museum is located at 6140 E. Skyline Drive in Cave Creek, Ariz., 480.488.2764. Open October through May.
