Elizabeth Mine

Elizabeth Mine

The Elizabeth Mine was an copper mine located in Orange County, Vermont, some miles south of the town of Strafford.

The ore deposite was discovered in 1793, but mining did not start until 1809. Open pit mining and from 1886 underground mining was conducted. The mine produced up to 8,500,000 lbs. of copper (1954) and was closed in 1957.

Due to acid mine drainage the west branch of the Ompompanoosuc River was polluted. Since 2000 the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources are develop a plan clean up.
