Sterling Hill Mining Museum in Ogdensburg, New Jersey, is a fascinating attraction centered around a former zinc mine, which operated for over 300 years before closing in 1986. The museum offers guided tours that take visitors through the underground tunnels where they can see striking fluorescent minerals that glow under ultraviolet light. In addition to the mine tour, the museum features exhibits on the history of mining, mineralogy, and geology, making it an educational destination for both adults and children.
