Imagine walking through the woods one day and finding a place like this unexpectedly. It’s like something out a fantasy novel: Ancient ruins with three-story high walls cutting through the overgrowth, and water-filled mine shafts sinking deep into the dark of the earth. We later learned that the location is called the Berkshire Mine Ruins, and that the mines that were active many decades ago. Of course, I like to imagine that it’s much, much older.
