Widow Jane Mine
Today the Widow Jane Mine offers an exciting venue for historic interpretation as well as special events. Many musicians have performed and recorded here, taking advantage of its unique acoustics.
This large limestone mine is set within the 32-square-mile seam of limestone between High Falls and Kingston. Adaptive uses of the mines have included mushroom cultivation (for Campbell’s Soup!), trout farming, water supply, corporate fallout shelters (an underground city complete with street lamps) and vital records storage.
