The Tonopah Historic Mining Park is located in Tonopah, Nevada, and spans over 100 acres of land that showcases the rich mining history of the area. Established in 1992, the park serves as both a museum and a historical site, preserving the remnants of the mining boom that characterized central Nevada in the early 20th century.

The park is situated on the original mining claims that initiated the rush to Tonopah, often referred to as the “Queen of the Silver Camps.” The discovery of silver ore by Jim Butler in 1900 marked the beginning of this boom. Butler's innovative leasing method allowed miners to profit from his claims, significantly contributing to the area's development and wealth.
