In the 1800s, over 4,000 miners called Cerro Gordo home. Nearly $500 million worth of minerals were pulled out of the 30 miles of mines here. By the 1940s, the town was abandoned, awaiting its next life.
Today, Cerro Gordo is undergoing a restoration to preserve the history and introduce new amenities to make it a destination for generations to come.
