Kennicott, Alaska

US Ghost Town Collection – Kennicott, Alaska – This preserved-in-time copper mining town is located at the end of a 60-mile-long dirt road in the middle of Alaska’s Wrangell–St. Elias National Park (the largest national park in the U.S.). In its heyday, circa 1910–1940, Kennicott processed nearly $200,000,000 worth of copper. By 1938, however, the mine was empty and the Kennicott Copper Corporation abruptly abandoned the remote town, leaving everything behind. Despite once having a skating rink, hospital, and more, today, the 14-story mill and power plant are what remain (well that and the eerie voices of long-lost miners).
