Borax Museum

Death Valley National Park




The Borax museum is an outdoor museum exhibiting machinery and vehicles used by the Pacific Coast Borax Company in their Death Valley mining operations. 



20 Mule Team wagon trains were used to haul 24 tons of borax 165 miles from Death Valley to Mojave.


Steam powered trains eventually replaced the 20 Mule Teams.

Stovepipe Well

Death Valley National Park



The well was once at the intersection of two trails through Death Valley. After sand obscured the spot, someone stuck a piece of stovepipe into the well as a marker.
