Kennecott, AK. The copper processing facililty for what at the time was the largest copper mine in the world. Abandonded without notice, it is a massive time capsule in the middle of nowhere. The mining company sent men there to burn it down in the 1940s, but seemed to forget to pay them. The men decided that if they weren't going to get paid, they weren't going to torch the place. This was one very fortunate missed payday. The tour costs $25 and takes over two hours. The price seemed steep at first blush; but at the end of the day, I felt it was worth every cent. Time is frozen inside these buildings. These are not reproductions or restorations. The machinery - even small items like gloves, tools, and other materials - are still there. It's as if a small civilization just vanished on a summer day in 1938.
