Black and white photograph from 1962 of the remains of the ghost town of Central, Michigan. The Central Mining Company was organized in 1856 to mine a rich vein of copper along the bluffs. The town of Central grew up around the mine, up to 900 residents at the peak of the mine's performance in 1868. By 1898, the copper supply had run dry, and the mining company closed. The town was abandoned after that, with the last permanent resident leaving in 1952. The area is now a historic district, with ruins and rock piles scattered among the area. The foreground was a dumping site of the copper mine. The church in the background is the Central Mine Methodist Church. Construction of this church began in 1868, and it quickly became a focal point of the community. In 1907, after the closure of the mine and abandonment of the town had forced the community to scatter and after the Keweenaw Central Railroad had been built, offering ease of transport back to Central, a reunion was scheduled for former Centralites at the Central Mine Methodist Church. These reunions, marked by services at the church, have been held annually since the first one in 1907.
