Iron Mountain Vintage (1870-1945) Iron Mine Tour
Following along as a group member during an Iron Mountain Iron Mine tour. The camera is guided through 2600 feet of underground drifts and tunnels to 400 feet below the earth’s surface to see the reality of iron mining in the 19th and early 20th century . However, the camera only touches the surface as to what the experience is actually like when you are attending the tour. The ambience of the mine which the original miners felt can only be realized while you are actually there. Check it out!

Thank you for having the patience to film this! And thank you to the Iron Mountain crew for keeping a historic mine like this intact.
They should have done this here in Birmingham, Alabama with Red Mountain Park and opened one of the iron ore mines to give tours. Great video, thanks for the upload
Awesome !!!!,
that old UP dialect 🙂
Somebody shut that child up….Parents teach your children not to talk when others are talking…
We have been der many times, and had this genuine yooper as our guide at least half da time. He knows everything there is about da mine. If you are passing through Iron Mountain, YOU HAVE TO STOP HERE. No, really. Best tourist stop in da U.P.
Thanks so much for posting this. My great grandfather worked the mine after coming over from Sweden in the mid-1800s. Although I saw the mountain several times as a kid on our trips ‘up north’ and have been to the ski jump, I’ve never been inside the mine. Wondering when the tours started, if they even existed in the ’60s and ’70s?
