WADES GOLD MILL

HILL CITY, SD

Wades Gold Mill is a unique attraction located in Hill City, South Dakota. It is one of the few remaining operational gold ore stamp mills in the United States. Built in the early 1900s, the mill is a living museum that allows visitors to watch the grinding process and pan for gold.

The mill is run by the Wade family and is open seasonally from May through October. The mill's centerpiece is a towering three-story woodframe building. Inside, visitors can watch as historic ore is fed into a crusher and then dropped into the mill's grinding wheel. The vibration of the wheel crushes the ore and the gold dust is separated from the ore using a series of screens.

The mill also has a small museum which showcases the history of gold mining in the Black Hills. Exhibits include a variety of artifacts from the gold rush era, as well as a display of the tools used to pan for gold.

The mill also offers several activities for visitors. The most popular is the panning for gold experience. This gives visitors a chance to pan for their own flakes of gold using the same methods used by the miners of old.

At the end of the day, visitors can purchase a souvenir bag of ore or a bottle of gold flakes. Wades Gold Mill is a unique and exciting way to explore the history of the Black Hills and experience a piece of the gold rush era.
