Nicely done video, showing all the phases of the mining operation and the various displays at the museum. Looks like a neat day trip, fun for the whole family. Thanks for sharing with all of us !
What looks like a pioneer dress is just a dress from an earlier generation. Up until the 1950s women (at least in Utah and surrounding areas) always wore dresses when away from the home. In the 1960s I began seeing professional women wear pant suits. In the 1970s I began seeing women wear jeans outside the home. My wife, being of an earlier generation, likes to wear dresses when in public, although she does make quick trips to a store in jeans.
I'm 72 and my wife is 66. That video was made in 1994 or 1995, so my wife would have been about 53 at that time. You're right about not seeing long dresses when you visited Utah. I wouldn't expect that you would see long dresses at Arches or Bryce, because most people, including my wife, would be wearing jeans while they camp. I live in the Salt Lake valley, so the trip to the mine was a day-trip not a camping trip, and my wife choose to wear to the mine the type of dress she grew up with.
to bad they took down the fools gold exibit before you came, you used to be able to take a sample of fools gold from it, and i've never heard of copperton,even though ive lived at the base of it for ten years, the town is called south jordan
Glad you stopped by. I love Copperton. I've never lived there, but I love the park and the small-town atmosphere. Yes,Copperton is still there since it is further east. I think the town that is gone was Bingham.
Glad you enjoyed it. That mine is so big, it can be seen from the space station. There used to be a small town there, but it is gone. If it were there, it would be floating in the air in the middle of the big hole :)
the sound doesnt work!
