The MacBride Copperbelt Mining Museum preserves the industrial heritage of the Whitehorse Copper Belt, which fueled the region's economy in the early 20th century. Visitors walk among massive rusted machinery, ore carts, and a restored mine headframe, with interpretive signs explaining the mining process. The museum's outdoor setting allows for a self-guided tour of the equipment, and a small indoor gallery displays artifacts and photographs. It's a hands-on look at the tough life of miners and the technology that extracted copper from the surrounding hills.
