High Point Silver Mine

We are still researching more information on the High Point Silver Mine. As of now, it stands as a mine in the middle of nowhere on a ridge of mountain at High Point State Park. We have no clues or indication to how  mining was done in this area. The mine was in such a rugged and remote area, it was difficult to find.

There were no roads to this mine, either they were very crude, or have been eroded through time.

Thanks to Doug for his persistence in finding this elusive mine.
