Mineral Point Historic District
Historic town · Mineral Point · Wisconsin
A lead mining town in the Driftless hills where Cornish immigrants built stone cottages by hand in the 1830s and 40s, many of which still stand along the downtown streets. Pendarvis preserves a cluster of the original miners' homes, and Shake Rag Alley runs an arts center out of seven more, both a short walk from the storefronts on High Street.
