In more than a century after rich lodes were discovered in 1884, this valley has become North and South America's largest producer of silver.

More than 5 billion dollars worth of lead, silver, and zinc—including more than a billion ounces of silver—have come from these camps. Old mines and towns at Burke, Kellogg, Murray, Mullan, Osburn, and Wardner can be reached from Wallace. First, visit the Coeur d'Alene District Mining Museum at 509 Bank Street to review the region's mining development.
