  • The small castle is the Wallace railroad depot. It houses a railroad museum that pictures a station around the end of the 19th century. The bricks that were used to build the depot were used as ballast on ships returning from China. In 1986 the building was in the way of Interstate I-90 and had to be moved 200 feet to its current location. The I-90 can be seen in the background of the picture.

    Things To Do: Oasis Bordello Museum

  • The museum was built in 1895 as a hotel and saloon, it is one of the few buildings in Wallace that survived the 1910 forest fire. Wallace had five bordellos, the Oasis closed in 1975. The museum wasn't open when we were in Wallace, so I can't tell you if it is interesting or yet another tourist trap.

    Things To Do: Sierra Silver Mine Tour

  • The Sierra Siver Mine Tour was a must-see for us. Coming from a coal-mining region in Belgium, we feel somewhat related to the mining communities in the Northwest. Just like the sierre silver mine, the coal mines are closed now. The tour starts from the ticket office in downtown Wallace, a trolley males a narrated tour through Wallace and transports the visitors to the mine. The guide is a retired miner with a true heart for his mining career. Although he has survived a bad mining accident he still loves the miner's way of life. He presents a clear picture of the life in the mine and can answer all your questions. He demonstrates the still active equipment in the mine, which is quite impressive (and noisy).

     Definitly a great place, the food is great as well. Also, they have a resident ghost named Maggie, who used to work and live there in the late 1800's. Eating there is a great way to relax, eat delicious food, and get in touch with history.
