This is the US Borax plant's visitors center. It's a good place to visit and get information on what exactly happens during mining and processing of Borax. Many people just think it's soap, but after visiting here you will learn otherwise. Outside there is a giant tire off of one of the trucks used at the mine and a replica of the twenty mule team. Inside there is an assortment of displays and models as well as an informational video. After the video, you can look out of the window to view the open pit mine. If interested in a little history of California or mining, I would recommend this place to anyone passing through.
