Hatcher Pass Independence Mine
Independence Mine State Historic Park

 

indepence


This gold mine, turned historic park, sits at the end of Gold Cord Road of the Hatcher Pass Road.

The abandoned buildings and the surrounding 271 acres became Independence Mine State Historical Park in 1984. Thirteen structures built in the late 1930s and early 1940s remain standing.   Climb beyond the abandoned buildings on well-trodden trails and get rewarding views of the mine and entire valley.
