Miners' Picnic

A long standing tradition of a Miners' Picnic has been continued by the Empire Mine Park Association. The picnic was originally held annually and benefitted the widows and orphans of the miners. Now it is held for the benefit of all the park visitors. In 2008, it will be held on August 23th.

  • All day entertainment



  • Food & beverages ( available for purchase )
