Deep Talks: An Evening with the Regan Brothers

February 12, 2026 - February 12, 2026

Join brothers Dan and Tom Regan, who together have over 100 years of experience at Homestake and SURF, for an evening of storytelling and recollection of their time in the former gold mine and the transition to America’s Underground Lab.

Few know the history, machinery, and people of the site better than Dan and Tom. They each bring firsthand stories from running locomotives underground to leading mine rescue efforts. Together, they offer a unique perspective on the transformation of the historic gold mine into a world-class underground lab.
