We came across an old miner's cemetery from the mid 1800s at one of the largest abandoned iron ore mining sites in New Jersey that operated from the early 1700s to the early 1900s and produced iron products for both the American Revolutionary War and Civil War. The site consisted of an entire village built up around a 2 mile long iron vein, one of the richest iron veins in the USA. Unfortunately the main mine is now sealed off, but we explore the entire area in a separate video.
