Kenneccott Mines was a thriving mining camp when the richest known concentration of copper in the world was found there in 1900. The development of the ore began immediately, bringing high profits to the state. However, the high-grade copper deposits were exhausted by 1939 and the camp became deserted. Currently the site is open for tourists who come to see old mines and abandoned buildings.

Separate stairs lead from the hall to each of the ten rooms and the interior is very similar to the “love-motels” where you can book a room for two for just a couple of hours.

This leper colony was abandoned 50 years ago. It was opened in 1885 and used to be city’s only official leper colony. It’s hard to believe but the colony located just 350 yards from the crowded tenements of the Bronx.
