Happy Jack Chalk Mine

The mine was dug back in the 1920's using black powered and hand tools. It was one of the only reliable jobs during the Great Depression for the three men who mined the chalk. 
This is the northern most point that the Tricolored bat (Pipistrellus subflavus) has been seen. Currently this small population has not been affected by White Nose Syndrome.
