During our visit of Sterling Hill and surroundings, we also visited the Franklin Mineral Museum. The Buckwheat dump was still closed at the time because of the snow... We had an almost private tour through the museum, because we were the only four people there ;-) The mineral collection of the museum is impressive and worth a visit.
