Churches - Central Mine Methodist |
Buildings, Church Buildings, Human Settlements, Cities and Towns, |
The only vital Central Mine structure is this methodist church used once each year for a Cornish Reunion. Descendents of former Cornish persons employed at the mine have kept alive a tradition of meeting once each year to recall early mining days. A few other buildings exist on the Central Mine site but they mostly are used as hunters' cabins or for brief summer lodging. Uninhabited in winter, Central truly is a ghost town.
