About Country Boy Mine

Country Boy Mine was founded in 1887 and is one of the oldest and most famous mines in Summit County, Colorado. In 1991, Tomlinson Brothers, Doug and David, along with their families dreamed of restoring the collapsed mine and mine site into a historical venue!

Located in the famous French Gulch area, gold was first discovered here by a miner named French Pete in 1860. This valley was abundantly rich in minerals such as gold, silver, lead, and zinc, and it played a very meaningful role in the gold rush of Breckenridge, Colorado.

Mining was and still is an integral part of Colorado and our nation’s history. With the deterioration and disappearance of historic mines in Colorado, Country Boy Mine serves to share with people the rich mining history. Today, we welcome you to come and enjoy Country Boy Mine for its wealth of history and gold, both past and present!
