Although the underground tours at Soudan Mine have been suspended for renovation until 2023, this excursion is worth the wait. Located in Minnesota, Soudan was the state’s first iron ore mine. It opened in 1882.
The mine remained functional until a change in technology in the 1990s caused the demand for iron ore to decrease. Currently, the mine is undergoing changes, however, you can still get an above-ground tour that walks guests through the other mining jobs that impacted the industry.
