HistoryOutdoor

A historic location that has great views and a good hike. The deposit was worked for graphite from 1910 to 1913 by the Virginia Graphite Company. The mine consists of an adit, 30 m long, and four pits, the largest measuring 12 m by 23 m and 30 m deep.

Beware of possible animals living in caves.
