A look at Miners Memorial Heritage Park in Ironwood and the miles of silent sports trails that wind through what was once the iron ore mines of the Gogebic Range. One of those mines was the Pabst which made national headlines 100 years ago when the Pabst G mine shaft caved-in, killing 3 and trapping 43 miners 800 feet underground for 5 days until they were rescued in one of the most remarkable and difficult rescues in U.S. mining history. We look at the history, and what is here today.
