Miners Memorial Heritage Park
The mid-20th-century moonscape left by the closing of the mines known by the locals as the “caves” was reclaimed by nature and is now 165 acres of woods, trails, and year-round community activities in the center of Ironwood, Michigan.
This Park is maintained by the Friends of the Miners Memorial Heritage Park. (source)
