Delaware is an authentic Copper Mine dating back to 1847-87. Eight million pounds of Copper were removed from the five shafts that reached a depth of 1400 feet with ten various levels. The tour takes visitors to the first level at 110 feet. There, veins of pure copper exposed in the walls of the mine along with other geologic points of interest can be seen. Guests can either take their time exploring the well lit tunnels and shafts with signs throughout, or take a guided tour of the mine with informative guides. The tour lasts approximately 45 minutes and includes the surface areas of the mine site after the return from underground.
