Crawling Into a 150-Year Old Silver Mine, Bristol NH

A great historical spot for New Hampshire is the Bristol Silver Mine, an abandoned mine we located over the course of several searches over the past few years.
"In 1875, Dr. Lucius E. Truesdell commenced work on a silver mine on the hillside west of North Bristol for Thomas B. Warren, of Springfield, Mass. Work was continued here for ten years or more. A shaft was sunk from the top of the ledge, and later a tunnel was bored 300 feet into the solid ledge. Argentiferous galena, gold bearing quartz, and beautiful specimens of quartz crystals were found here; but more gold and silver were put into the hill than ever taken out, and consequently mining was abandoned."
