Exploring Benson Mines

  • Ore Silos

    Rusting silo between concrete silos for holding iron ore. It looked like there was more machinery on top of the silos that had rusted away and collapsed.

  • Abandoned Excavator's Engine
  • Abandoned Excavator

    ...With no bucket. Likely a Massey Ferguson 450.

  • Office Building

    One of the few two-story buildings, with major fire damage inside.

  • Bathroom and Sink

    Likely decimated by vandals.

Benson Mines is a long-abandoned iron mine near Watertown, NY. The mine was shut down in 1978 and the buildings and have been completely abandoned ever since. Abandoned man-made structures are my favorite to take pictures of, so I couldn't resist exploring!
