The Ouray County Museum is well worth a visit!. Considered to be one of the nations top small town museums by the Smithsonian Institute... http://www.ouraycountyhistoricalsociety.org/
To compliment the mining exhibit at the Ouray museum, there is a real mine tour just south of Ouray on the right side (look for small sign).
In Ridgway (about 5 miles south of Ouray) there is a small railroad museum. They are expecting a brand new replica steam locomotive.
In Silverton there is a very nice museum with a lot of mine stuff and a jail with a tour.
In Silverton, 3 or 4 Steam trains will start arriving before lunch and about 40 min apart. Train Depot and other rail car displays next door.
NE out of Silverton there is the 100 Goldmine Tour and the Mayflower Gold Mill (self guided).
About the jeep rentals, you will get dusty unless you find/rent an enclosed jeep.
