CopperopolisCopperopolis developed into a family town containing a general store, livery stable, blacksmith shop, barber shop, boarding house, restaurant, and bunkhouses. During the first nine months of operation a quarter of a million dollars was uncovered from the mines. In 1901 Copper export prices were cut in half due to the depression in Germany. The mines were forced to close down in 1903 and the families moved away. A story goes that two men remained in town but hated each other. They even visited the town spring at different times to avoid each other. In 1915 attempts were made to homestead the land. All of the buildings have been torn down except for one cabin. The lumber was hauled away. What remains is a true ghost town. Activities
