1200 N Main St, Jackson, CA 95642. Actual tailing wheels from the Kennedy are on display in Jackson. The ore from the Kennedy Mine was crushed in their one hundred-stamp mill on the south slope of Humbug Hill.
The tailings, or “waste,” were then mixed with water in the slime plant and allowed to flow down a one thousand-foot-long flume to the base of Wheel #1. Anchored to a concrete foundation, the three-story-tall wheel lifted the tailings forty-four feet in redwood buckets, and then emptied them into a flume which flowed to the base of Wheel #2. From the top of Wheel #2, an eight hundred-foot long flume carried the tailings over Jackson Gate Road to Wheel #3.
Up another forty-four feet and down another flume to Wheel #4 which lifted the tailings for a final time up and over the top of the hill and into the impounding basin in Indian Gulch. The wheels worked twenty-four hours a day, from December of 1914 to 1942 with few stoppages, each day lifting 850 tons of waste up and over the hills. When the Kennedy Mine closed in 1942, the corrugated iron buildings which had enclosed the four wheels were torn down for scrap. Suddenly, four looming wooden wheels appeared on Jackson’s horizon. The wheels are located in the Jackson Kennedy Wheels City Park, north of town about a mile along Jackson Gate Road.

Amador Whitney Museum – Highway 49: The museum hosts vintage covered wagon as well as schoolhouse and post office scenes staged with original props, which makes it well worth a short visit. Small, but if you take the old Highway 49, rather than the bypass, you will pass it going to Jackson.

15701 Pioneer Volcano Road, Volcano. 209-296-5007. https://blackchasmcavern.com: In 1854 a group of explorers discovered a cave cut deep into the earth, housing bright blue underground lakes and tendrils of beautiful mineral formations along its walls. Later, these spindly, gravity-defying mineral deposits would become known to geologists as helictites. Today that cave, Black Chasm Cavern, is one of the only places on Earth you can see them.
