Why this spot
1900-1930s mining and railroad town
Mining town founded in 1900 that briefly had about 300 people, stores, saloons and a hotel before the backers pulled out. The Great Northern revived it from 1905 and residents moved to New Molson in 1909, but it collapsed in the Depression and the track was pulled by 1935.View source →
