In 1973, the Red Cloud's shaft house and adjoining structures were torn down. The head frame of the hoist works and some of the hoist equipment were moved here for safe keeping.
The Red Cloud Mine operation housed the equipment you see illustrated and on display. The boiler (A) was a real workhorse - it made steam to power steam engines, which drove the hoist (B) that lifted men and equipment up and down the mine shaft on cables stretched over pulleys on the head frame (C). The boiler also powered the air compressor (D) that operated air drills and other machinery used by the miners.
