Why this spot
1866-1903 stage station and copper mining town
Stage station halfway between White Sulphur Springs and Martinsdale that became a copper camp after 1866 strikes, growing into a family town with a store, livery, blacksmith, barber, boarding house and bunkhouses. Copper prices halved in 1901 and the mines closed in 1903.View source →
