This event will feature the largest exhibit of meteorites ever assembled in Colorado and will include: A “Hammerstone” that traveled through space to crash through a garage roof in Canyon City, CO - terrifying the only one home on that night in 1973: Little Misty the cat! Fragments of the meteorite that created four huge explosions, and rudely interrupted a funeral in 1924 near Johnstown, CO - nearly scaring 200 mourners to death! Meteorites that have been proven to be from the Moon and event Mars! And…for the first time on exhibit in Colorado, you will see meteorite stones from the fireball that exploded over Chelyabinsk, Russia, in February of 2013! But wait…this adventure doesn’t stop at meteorites You can also shop! We will have over 25 vendors with gemstones, jewelry, and minerals to get your rock collection stared The Gold Prospectors of Colorado will teach you how to gold pan and you can “Keep All You Find!” Finally, the Mining Museum will operate all of its spectacular equipment: steam engines, air trammers, steam shovel, and the truly unique, rumbling, thundering and shaking - 1890’s Yellow Jacket Stamp Mill Gold and Silver Refinery!
