Just a half-hour drive from Anchorage, this mining site still portrays mining techniques as they were during the 1920s and 1930s. It is near an old roadhouse, built in 1909, formerly serving the many mining travelers that crossed the Indian Pass route of the Iditarod Trail. There were only two mines on this side of the Turnagain Arm. Try your hand at panning for gold and look through the museum at recorded events.

Fun side adventure on Spur of the moment road trip south of Anchorage to Girdwood. My son said he has never been to the mine (i could have sworn I had brought him here before) He did the Gold Panning, while I checked out the gift shop and property. looped back around watched him search for his golden treasure. Staff was super friendly and helpful. highly recommend! +++
MoreA really fun place to visit. The owners are amazing and have such a great history in the area. Don't pass up this gem! So many interesting artifacts and you may be lucky and see a visiting bear!
MoreMy husband and i visited in August of 2024. I purchased earrings for my grandchildren at the Indian Valley Mine. They loved the earrings. They were very well made and came with interchangeable colored flowers. My granddaughter was so upset when she lost one. I called and spoke to Gladys and had replacements the following week!
MoreOur family had SO much fun here!! We thought it would be cool, but it really exceeded our expectations. The gold panning was fun, the gift shop was fascinating, and the owners were friendly and fun to talk to! Highly recommend stopping and enjoying what they have to offer.
