Join Living History Manager Peter Mousseau for a deep dive into how mining works, from simple panning in the river to the more complex chemical works of Anaconda. Examine a gold pan, copper ingots, and learn how the discovery of these metals forged Montana.

MOR's Spotlight on History is a series of short explorations of single artifacts from our Cultural History Collection. Learn about the fascinating, strange, and historical stories behind our specimens and their place within Montana history.
