The Heritage Silver Trail provides access to important mining sites where you can learn about the exciting history of the silver rush in Cobalt more than one hundred years ago. Each site is enhanced by signs and illustrations.

A trail booklet is designed to provide the visitor with a background of historical and technical data to enable an understanding of the history of the Cobalt Camp and the significance of the various sites along the trail.
