My mom is from there as well. My grandmother grew up on a farm just outside of Mt Hope in the 1930s and 40s.

Did they ever say how the one person that was trapped died?
I've been keeping up with that. There have been no reports of how the death occurred. The only intel I got was that the victim was a volunteer tour guide.
When I was a kid in the 70's the Mainstreet in Dodge was pretty cool, there were several old west Acts, gunslingers, saloon dancers, etc. Over the years it dwindled to nothing. Just a place where the Old west used to be.
Now it is the Modern West, Feed Lots and Packing Plants, not much to look at, till it gets to the Grocery Store.
The area is still riddled with Crime though, that is exciting.
Did the mine yesterday afternoon, fairly interesting. The Yoder restaurant didn't disappoint whatsoever as usual. The extra tour back into the actual mining part where they went into more detail of the process and history was MUCH better than the rest of the normal tour. The displays and walk through tour part was "eh". The Civil Defense displays and fall out shelter history from the 50's and 60's was interesting. The massive size of it was interesting as well. 50a alone dedicated to storage. This was the highlight pic of the day though lol.
