As others have noted above, there is more than one ticket option. We purchased the pass that allows a single entry into each of several museums and attractions: Healy House & Dexter Cabin, Heritage Museum, House With The Eye Museum, Matchless Mine, National Mining Hall of Fame and Museum, Tabor House, and Temple Israel. Known as the "Passport to Leadville History," it's a fantastic value. Please note: * The Matchless Mine admission (via the Passport to Leadville History) does NOT include the tour guide; you need to pay separately for the guided tour, and it's worth the extra expense. * The pass does not cover Tabor Opera House or Hopemore Mine. * Only the National Mining Hall of Fame and Museum is open year round. The other attractions covered by the pass have varying seasonal dates. So you'll want to call before visiting Leadville to determine what's open during your travel dates.
What can you reveal about a very small digging machine designed and built during the 1920s or 30s on display at the National Mining Hall of Fame & Museum by Alonzo Pawling and Henry Harnischfeger of Milwaukee, Wisconsin?

Thanks for the great question! I learned a few things looking up your answer. The search engines are a wonderful tool. I cc'd your question and pasted it into Google. It took a very long 0.6 seconds and there were only 6 hits so very few folks out there know what we now know! Can't post links here so try the same trick. Plenty of pic's and detail in the article so I'm sure you'll find the desired answers...
