On Episode 24 of the Yore Town Podcast, we read a chapter from the Cherri L Farnsworth book. Chapter 15 of Historic North Country Disasters. This book can be found on Amazon, ADKHistory, Barnes and Noble, Target, HLhistory, and many other locations. Check it out!  The Benson Mines in Star Lake had such an impact on an already small town. It's wild how it went from 1400 students in school to 600 in a matter of weeks. Such a beautiful place that is lost without such a a booming business as the Benson Mines was. At one time it was the largest iron ore mine in the world!
