 Orsa Grindstone Association was formed in 1996.
Made up of about 70 local people today, it is slowly growing. Some of these are working as voluntaries with the tours and as guides, keeping up the museum, working with information towards our schools and the public, protecting the whole area of daystripmines for the future, keeping the Grindstone Footpath in shape, making sure there are sufficient informationtablets in the area and so on.

 The History tours and the Theme Days for children and all the work surrounding these projects, are a big part of the Association engagement today. A few years ago a consert was usually held yearly in one of the mines, Malungsgruvan, wich have an outdoor stage and room for well over 500 people. This consert event is known to feature musicians of very high ranking, and draws impressive audience. Despite the fact that everyone is asked to bring their own chair. The Association is also hosting for instance, theater, music show, Mother Christmas gathering for kids and, a few years ago, even sculpture symposium.
