Harmony Borax Works was only operated for 5 years from late 1883 to 1888.
Transporting the finished product from deep within Death Valley to market was difficult, and an efficient method was devised. The Harmony Borax operation became famous by using large mule teams and double wagons which hauled borax across the long overland route to Mojave. The image of a “20-mule team” persists to this day and has become the symbol of the borax industry in this country.
The is not much left to see but it was still awesome.
This is part of our Season 3 Part 2 and was filmed in the second half of 2019.
