Come take a short but fascinating journey through a century-and-a-half of copper mining and everyday life in the historic Copper Basin, from the arrival of the area's earliest settlers through the closing of the last mine in 1987.  The museum is located near the junction of U.S. 64 and Tennessee Highway 68 on the site of the old Burra Burra mine.
