Eagle Mining Co.
2320 C Street, Julian, CA 92036
The Eagle Mining Company in Julian offers tours 1,000 feet into a mine nearly 150 years old. The guides paint a picture of the rigorous world of gold mining back in the day. The mine seems to have been built for short people so be prepared to duck in spots. Visitors walk (stoop may be a better word) 1000 feet into the earth while a guide explains the history of the town. Visitors will walk away with new respect for the rugged life faced by prospectors.
Before and after the tour, you can try panning for gold in a trough, though you can’t keep what you find. Except the memories.
