About Bohemia Gold Mining Museum

The museum occupies a former square dance barn, often called the red barn, located across from Bohemia Park. It serves as a growing memorial to miners and to gold mining in the Bohemia Mining District. Its collection includes photographs, tools, ore samples, and other artifacts. The museum is dedicated to Guy Leabo, a longtime local miner, and many displayed items came from his personal collection. Visitors can arrange a tour by phone or email, and the museum accepts donations to help preserve mining history.
