Hooper Mine on Garnet Hill in the Central Adirondacks of NY
5 months ago
7
An abandoned mining operation on a mountain top. In 1893, Frank Hooper opened a garnet mine which pulled 5000 tons of garnet out of the mountain every year. The Hooper’s Mine settlement became a bustling community with more than 50 buildings. In 1909 Hooper built Big Shanty, as home for him and his family. Big Shanty stands to this day, right near the Garnet Hill Lodge.
By 1928, the mine closed as the garnet ran dry.
Now, there is a cross country ski lodge and 25+ miles of trails open for hikers, skiers and snowshoers to explore.
