The Cave Creek Museum, which opened the Arizona Gold Mining Experience five years ago, will be adding a new character to its program when the season opens on Oct. 1.
Local miner El Monty Jackson will be making his debut during the museum’s first Arizona Gold Mining Experience Oct. 24.
Jackson, a crusty old miner, previously was a well-to-do-gambler from back East, decided to leave the life and venture to Cave Creek to try his luck at searching for gold in the renowned mining district. Jackson is quite a character, and visitors of all ages are going to love his wild and quirky style. He will make you laugh and experience a day filled with memories and knowledge.
