St. John's Lead Mine

About the Business
St. John's Lead Mine, located at 129 South Main Street in Potosi, Wisconsin, is a historic institution with a rich history dating back to the early 19th century. Originally worked by Native Americans before Wisconsin's Lead Rush, the mine was named after Willis St. John, a prominent settler in the area who played a key role in its development.
Established in the 1820s, St. John's Mine quickly became a hub for mining activity, attracting fortune seekers and contributing to the growth of the local community. However, St. John's luck eventually turned, leading to the sale of the mine in 1848. By 1870, the mine had been depleted of its resources and was closed.
In 1969, the land was purchased and transformed into a museum, preserving the history of the area and its mining heritage. While the site is currently closed, visitors can explore other Wisconsin Historical Society websites to learn more about the state's rich history and heritage. Whether researching family history or exploring historic properties, the Wisconsin Historical Society offers a wealth of resources for those interested in the past.
