NEW: Plumer Mine Site Ruins Cleared

Did you know that there are foundations of the Plumer's former mining buildings behind the Headframe? We've just completed clearing years of brush away to reveal them.  A walking trail connecting the Plumer Mine Headframe parking lot to the ruins has been cleared. We are researching these mysterious structures and will be developing interpretative signs to share their history and function.
