Say what? Ore buckets? Little bitty ore buckets?
Remember the first Mineral King Room (in Three Rivers History Museum) mural was of a tram tower below the Empire Mine in Mineral King and only made sense if someone was standing there ‘splaining it?
Now, there are visual aids. In addition to the real ore bucket resting alongside the mural, there are to-scale versions actually on the mural, hanging from the cable.
These are utter perfection, the final touch that makes this mural come alive! Thank you, Nancy B. of the Three Rivers Historical Museum!!
And here are the other 2 murals, in case they were feeling left out.

Fabulous!
Diane, they are so very charming, these little ore buckets. Wait until you see them in person!
Fantabulous! The little scenes in front make all the difference.
Susan, aren’t those the cutest little things ever?? They really make the mural come alive and make sense.
Well how clever is that! Who made those itty bitty ore buckets? Whoever did, did a great job!
I’m sorry to have missed the Grand Opening. How was it? I hope you had a good turn-out! And I’m looking forward to seeing everything in person!
