To the north of the coastal town of Valdez, the huge buildings of the former copper mine that unearthed a fortune in copper ore between 1900 and 1938 still stand proudly. Until the late 1960s, Kennecott (also known as Kennicott) was mainly an abandoned ghost town. However, after being designated a National Historic Landmark in the 1980s, the site continues to develop into a tourist attraction. Residents of the community are lovingly restoring the buildings and preserving the charm from the days of the mountain farmers.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 and designated as a National Historic Landmark since 1986, Kennecott is considered the best remaining example of early 20th Century copper mining.
nps.gov/wrst/learn/historyculture/kennecott-mines-national-historic-landmark.htm

From 1909 until 1938, except when it closed temporarily in 1932, Kennecott mines "produced over 4.6 million tons of ore that contained 1.183 billion pounds of copper mainly from three ore bodies: Bonanza, Jumbo and Mother Lode."
The Kennecott operations reported gross revenues above $200 million and a net profit greater than $100 million.

Interesting spot about American Mining History. In the summer you can book guides and get more information in the museum. Next town McCarthy has a good restaurant (The Potato) and you can Land with your plane nearby at the McCarthy Airstrip.
