- The Sierra Silver Mine in Wallace Idaho, the center of the universe! About an hour East of Coeur d’Alene, Wallace Idaho claimed themselves as the center of the universe in 2004. So you can imagine the vibe of this town. It’s a bunch of fun, and a bunch of people that don’t take themselves too seriously. It’s also a town with a ton of history. Founded 135 years ago in 1884, Wallace rests in the Coeur d’Alene mining district, a district that produced more silver than any other district in the United States. The history of mining culture in Wallace is what makes the Sierra Silver Mine tour such a fun and unique experience. The Sierra Silver Mine tour is the second most popular tour in Idaho. What’s the first? Watch the video and see!

Go underground in a real mine, with a real miner as your guide, and get a feel for what it was like to live as a miner during the Idaho silver boom. If you don’t have the hour and a half it takes to hop on the trolly and take the tour, you can stop by their historic office in Downtown Wallace. Equipped with its own ice cream parlor.
The mine is chilly so bring a jacket. Open 7 days a week from May 1st through October 15th. Check the website for more details like hours of operation. It’s best to call ahead of time to reserve your spot on a tour, but they do allow walk-ins.

Wallace Idaho, the center of the universe! It's also home to the second most popular tour in Idaho. Any questions, because we had a few, especially about that center of the universe thing. Leave us a question or comment for us right here!
Right next door, and will be there soon (hopefully!!). Yay!!
This actually deserves more view 😀
Thanks!
Thanks so much for this!! Mining has been an interest of mine (lol) since childhood, and I've toured, captured, experienced, etc them all around the world for a variety of reasons 🤍📢🎞📸✍
Fun video, I always like that town. Lots of fun.
Ya I was just there and did this tour again. It was an even better tour the second time around.
The mine tour in Butte Montana is pretty good, and the old Montana state prison is cool too
Sweet thanks for the tip!
@@JonConti a lot of mining history in Montana. Pony is a neat tiny town with some old mines in the area too.
Do you know where there are public mining spots near southern Idaho, near Declo? I have always wanted to mine for some cool rocks but I don't know where to start.
Maria hey Maria, I don’t off the top of my head but my uncle is a geologist in burley, I’m reaching out to him now and I will get back to you 👍
@@JonConti awesome! Thank you, so much.
@@JonConti I am new to Idaho so I don't know many places. I think it would be fun to go with a few people and find something cool to display in my massage room or home. Let me know what your uncle says and thank you again for asking him.
Maria o ya no problem. Welcome to Idaho! He’s a teacher and today is Day 1 of school so he may not get back to me until the evening.
@@JonConti Thank you! Yea, that's no problem. When you hear from him, let me know. 😊
About how much? How long start to finish is this tour ( or range of tour time?) thx
I don’t know how much. It’s about an hour
@@JonConti thx Jon. We made it up to Hiawatha and weather didn’t allow tours they say the rain messes with the metal wheels if I remember right-something like that. They also said trained dogs are welcome as they have squirrels and chipmunks that make some dogs go crazy ( along with other dogs). They also said if your dog doesn’t do well with thunder and lightning and fireworks the. Your dog will go crazy as the noises in mine do same thing. Love the channel. Thx.
