Argo Gold Mine and Mill

Argo History: Dozens of mines and hundreds of miles of mine workings connected to and benefited from the Argo Tunnel. In addition to draining the mines of water, the intrepid Argo entrepreneurs sold ventilation air, compressed air, haulage, transportation, & milling services to the mines. The Colorado & Southern Narrow Gauge Railroad ran directly in front of the Argo & provided easy transport to the smelters and the United States Mint, which was located in Denver due to its proximity to these riches. The Argo Mill was a state of the art facility providing the latest technological advancements in milling and situated at the mouth of the mighty tunnel. The services and efficiencies provided by the Mill and Tunnel greatly improved the profitability of the industry, thereby extending the gold rush in the area for decades. In 2016, a dedicated group of local preservationists purchased the Argo to make impactful improvements as well as the visitor experience of the Argo history. Book today!
