The Miner's Hat, located at 300 East Cameron Avenue in Kellogg, Idaho, is a commercial novelty building designed in the unmistakable shape of a protective miner's helmet. Built in the tradition of whimsical architectural folly, it exemplifies a distinctive American building type that prioritizes eye-catching form over conventional design—a category shared by structures such as the Big Duck in Long Island and the Teapot Dome Service Station in Washington. The building was recognized for its historical and cultural significance when it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2021.
