The Matchless Mine is located on the fabulously mineral-rich, Fryer Hill in Leadville's Historic Mining District. |
Description | The Matchless Mine is listed on the National Park Service's National Register of Historic Places. Purchased in 1879 by Silver King H.A.W. Tabor, the Matchless Mine was one of the richest silver mines of the era, with production rates surpassing the Comstock Lode of Nevada. With the extraordinary wealth they accumulated, Tabor and his mistress-turned-wife, Elizabeth "Baby Doe" Tabor, lived in high style. Take a surface tour of the Matchless Mine to experience this tragic story and see the historic mine - a true legacy of the American West. Learn more about its history. Tour Highlights Include: "Baby Doe's" Cabin |
