This mine is located outside of the ghost town of Preston, near Breckenridge, Colorado. It's one of the largest abandoned mines in the area, and in this video I showcase my best photos and videos of it with some interesting history!

The two songs I used in this video are called "First Confluence" from Journey and "Floating Dream" from Minecraft. The black and white photo is from Denver Public Library, and my sources fof the history of this mine are from the plaque right next to it, and this article right here-

Please consider donating to help my friends at the South Park Society restore Colorado & Southern boxcar #8166, which is one of the last C&S Railroad boxcars in existence. They are a non profit organization and do not get many donations. Even $5 dollars helps out big time!
