Why this spot
1750s-1928 copper mine and mill village
Former township along the Old Mine Road with the Pahaquarry Copper Mine, worked unprofitably from the 1750s until 1928, and Millbrook, a farm village that grew around Abram Garis's 1832 grist mill. The mill, store and hotel closed by 1910 and the township dissolved in 1997.View source →
