Central Mine Historic District
Central Mine Historic District, Historic mining district in Central, Michigan.
The Central Mine Historic District contains twenty remaining frame structures with gable roofs, porches, and stone foundations from an original collection of 130 buildings.
The Central Mining Company operated from 1854 to 1898, producing 52 million pounds of copper and supporting a population of 1,200 residents during its peak.
The Methodist Episcopal Church, built in 1868, reflects the Cornish heritage of the mining families and continues to host annual reunions every July.
The district's Visitor Center operates from mid-June through early October, offering exhibits about the mine, village life, and self-guided walking tour information.
Two hiking trails opened in 2005 lead through wooded areas, revealing house foundations and the former schoolhouse site of this former mining community.
