In 2015 treasure seekers young and old will love the new interactive feature, The Treasure House. This new site tells the story of mining in Utah through hands-on experiences. Dig for gemstones in Prospectors Pit, and then identify your rocks at the Assay Station. Pan for gold in the creek under the shady oaks. There is no excitement quite like finding a shiny nugget hiding amongst the silt and sand. Choose a giant geode and help break it in our Geode Cracker! Inside the Treasure House look down into a mining pit and see miners at work! And play fun games to learn more about the role mining played in the settlement of the West. From the Treasure House you can climb up to a look out and see all the way to the Oquirrh Mountains and the Coppermine! "Set sail" on the Ship Brooklyn, a one-sixth replica of the original that tells the story of the expedition of pioneers who sailed from New York Harbor over 24,000 miles in search of a new home in the West.
