About Country Boy Mine
Country Boy Mine dates back to 1887 and stands as one of the oldest and most well-known mines in Summit County, Colorado. In 1991, brothers Doug and David Tomlinson, along with their families, set out to restore the collapsed mine and surrounding site, turning it into a living piece of history.
The mine sits in the historic French Gulch area, where a miner known as French Pete discovered gold in 1860. This valley proved incredibly rich in minerals with gold, silver, lead, and zinc, and it played a key role in Breckenridge’s gold rush era.
Mining has long shaped Colorado and the nation as a whole. As many historic mines across the state continue to deteriorate or disappear, Country Boy Mine preserves and shares this important legacy. Today, we invite you to experience Country Boy Mine and explore the stories, history, and gold that connect the past to the present.
