Old Mine Park

Trumbull, Connecticut

Old Mine Park is often considered just a northern extension of the Pequonnonck Valley State Park but the park is town owned and really a separate entity. Old Mine Park used to be a tungsten mine, the picnic pavillion now stands where the main ore processing building once stood. It was mined from 1828 to 1920, during 1942-1946 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. The loop up the large hill takes you past remnants of old mine cuts and shafts (fenced off for safety).
