We are always looking for a new way to celebrate our country’s birthday. This year, we went to The Mining and Rollo Jamison Museums to celebrate! This place has been on our bucket list for several years so we took this opportunity to go!

We arrived just before the museum opened. We did the mine tour first before it got more crowded. Join us on the tour, led by a young man named Garrison. It was sure fun! It was also much cooler inside the mine than outside and it felt good!

After the tour, we rode the mine train, join us!

There was just as much excitement going on inside of the museum building.   The Music and Schoolroom had many working music machines of the late 19th and early 20th Century.

We heard a Regina music box, cylinder music boxes, mini-organs and such. Even a player piano. Hear and see them below!

We enjoyed a delicious lunch served by the Platteville Music Boosters. The last thing was music by the Wundo Band. Enjoy some of their music here, mostly 50’s and 60’s hits.

It was a great day today, especially since one of our friends joined us. We highly recommend a visit to the museum, you will learn a lot!
