Introduction
Harmony Borax Works is a historic ruin in Death Valley National Park. From 1883 the famous Twenty-Mule Team hauled borax from here to the railroad at Mojave, making it the core of the valley's early industrial story. Ruined structures, chimneys and interpretive signs tell of mining in extreme heat, and the overlook sweeps across the white borax flats.
