Exploring Benson Mines

  • Worker's Desk
  • Office Building

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

  • Overgrown

  • Garage Door

    Outside view of another building showing the decay of the area.

  • 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.

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!
