A thriving town in the 1920s. Completely abandoned by the 1960s. Back on the map in 2017 as a Base Camp for recreational fun!
Here's what the owners are up to with the property https://www.manganesebasecamp.com/
Manganese was one of the last of the mining communities to be established, and named after the mineral located in abundance. Unlike a mining "location", company towns built by the mining companies to house workers for their mines while they retained ownership of the land. At its peak around 1919, Manganese had two hotels, a bank, two grocery stores, a lumber yard , a livery stable, a barbershop, a pool room, a show hall and a two room school, and housed a population of nearly 600. After the end of WW1, the population of Manganese went in to steady decline, resulting in complete abandonment by 1960.
