All of the deposits of the mine can be dated back to roughly 1.15 billion years, or even more. That is why the place has developed into something so special after all these years, and it is going to be a prominent place for tourist attraction for ages.
More Than Zinc
After the closure of the New Jersey Zinc Company, there is hardly any zinc that can be found in the mines now. But that has not lessened its value at all. In fact, in a sense, the value of the place has increased after the construction of the museum.
Hard-Work
A lot of thought, planning and action have been put in the making of the museum. It is not an easy task to convert a mine into a place for public attraction. But the Hauck brothers had decided that they would make it happen.
Planning
If we look at what the condition of the mine was years back, when miners used to work there, we realize how unbearable and tough the conditions would have been for the miners. How could a museum be built in such conditions?
Worst Conditions
The miners used to breathe hazardous air, where there was hardly any place for fresh air to come in and their lives were at a high risk all the time. It was a true challenge to even think of building a museum in such conditions.
The Formation
The ceiling of the museum is supported by a set of a number of steel beams known as “square-sets” which are tightly intact to the walls. That has made the walls of the museum stable, which was not the case earlier.
