Maxim Mine
Hi everyone, I am assembling information about the Maxim Mine, which is next to the North Country Trail in Iron County Wisconsin.
It is my hope that we can put some sort of interpretive sign or historical marker at the site of the mine. I need to collect as much information
as I can, plus I am hoping to obtain a photo of Zenas Maxim or Caption Frank Maxim.
If you have any information, please email me at isawtman@gmail.com
Here is the information I have collected so far:
My youtube video of the Maxim Mine is located here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVXSjqeXaQ4
