Description
"Lead has been big business in the eastern Ozarks since about 1720. Come explore its history – and see the processing plant of the former St. Joe Lead Company – in the heart of the Old Lead Belt at Missouri Mines State Historic Site. The mine’s former powerhouse has been turned into a museum that interprets the area’s lead mining history, displays actual machinery from the mines and houses one of the Midwest's finest mineral collections." Missouri State Parks
What a fun place to explore! While much of the area is cordoned off, you can see mining equipment and photograph the neat old buildings where so many of the folks worked in the "leadbelt" of Missouri.
