Temporary interpretative signs telling the story of the Plumer Mine Headframe were installed in May. These signs will be replaced by larger permanent interpretative signs by fall, 2025.

Did you know that there are foundations of the Plumer's former mining buildings behind the Headframe? We've just completed clearing years of brush away to reveal them.  A walking trail connecting the Plumer Mine Headframe parking lot to the ruins has been cleared. We are researching these mysterious structures and will be developing interpretative signs to share their history and function.

New permanent interpretative signs are being designed to tell the story of the Plumer Mine Headframe and Mining Location. These signs will replace and upgrade the former signs (shown below) that were installed in 1993.

The shaft opening beneath Plumer Mine Headframe was filled and landscaped. Safety fencing was installed.

2023: Volunteers completed tree and brush removal beneath the Plume Mine Headframe. Brush clearing outside of the Headframe fence continues in 2024.

The Friends of the Plumer Mine Headframe was established as a 501c3 non-profit volunteer member organization. A new website and social media begins sharing Friends news.
