The Three Kids Mine is a defunct open-pit manganese mine in Henderson, Nevada, United States which operated from 1917 to 1961, primarily supplying the United States military with manganese during the first and second World Wars. The thickener pits of the mill at the abandoned Three Kids Mine site remain painted with notable graffiti. A pit at the Three Kids Mine was used for filming in 1988 science-fiction film Cherry 2000.
