Description

BLACK DIAMOND MINES REGIONAL PRESERVE - Hard as rock, fragile as glass. In the early 20th century, the Hazel-Atlas Mine was a critical link in the process to create glass. Discover the stories of the miners who removed the rock that once was an ancient seabed and is now part of your everyday life.

All participants must be age 7 or older, and parent participation is required. Hard hats are required and provided. Underground spaces may feel claustrophobic for some people.

Please bring a jacket; you will be underground in the mine, where temperatures are in the mid-50's year-round.

The Hazel-Atlas Mine Tour is not wheelchair accessible. The walk from the parking lot includes some steep and uneven terrain.

Arrive early, at least 15 minutes, to allow enough time for parking and walking. Park in the upper parking lot, 1 mile past the kiosk. Walk past the gate where the Historic Marker is. Continue up the hill past the picnic area and meet at the Greathouse Visitor Center.

Each tour is limited to 15 total maximum participants.

Cost is $5 per person.

$5/per vehicle parking fee applies when kiosk is attended.
