Gold Mines and Miners Cabins

A look at days gone by. These photos were taken near the town of Granite, Oregon. Granite was in the center of the Oregon Gold Rush in the 1860's. I photographed this place and left it just like I found it. I think it was most likely built in the 1930's sometime.
It is on National Forest Land. There are other mining related pics on this gallery also.

You did a great job of documenting this historical area. I assume since this is on forest land the people were run out by the big lumber companies. Voted.
