Checking out the abandoned mines, mills, ghost town, and camps along Burke Canyon Road. The seven mile stretch of road from Wallace to Burke is filled with mining history that goes back to 1884. Located in THE SILVER VALLEY in North Idaho, the district has produced more Silver, Lead, and Zinc than almost any other place in the world. I admit I am not very good at making videos but I love to share the history of my home with those who are interested. I will also be the first to tell you the music on this video is less than 'toe-tapping' but it is copy free so I use what I can. Part 2 will be out shortly. Some of the historic information is based on a pamphlet written by Robert Shore. Thank you to HISTORIC WALLACE PRESERVATION SOCIETY for allowing me use of the historic photos and the many schools and groups that provided me with other photos and film.
