Consolidated Gold Mines

Gold & Attractions

Consolidated Gold Mine Tour

The Consolidated Gold Mines and gold processing mill, built in the early 1900's, was the largest gold mining operation east of the Mississippi River. Most of the mill buildings are gone but the tunnels deep below in gold bearing rock still remain.

Tours are conducted daily. Your tour guides are actual miners who are open to questions during your tour of underground mine tunnels. The Consolidated Gold Mines are located about one-half mile from the Dahlonega Square. Call them for information at 706-864-8473.
