Caption: Detail from the “Main Tunnel” Marker
Additional Description: Caption:
A community called Spanish Camp grew around this site in the 1850s, where Mexican, Spanish and Chilean mining families settled to live and work. Children used the pond directly below the Main Tunnel as a swimming hole while their fathers and older brothers dug deeper into the mountain in search of the valuable ore.
