St. John Mine

The St. John Mine is located in Potosi, Wisconsin. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.

History

Once a natural cave, Native Americans mined lead out of the site before Wisconsin's "lead rush" in 1827. The first non-Native American to work at the mine was Willis St. John. The mine is privately owned and tours are no longer available.
