Iron Mining In Minnesota 1800s
Train would take the ore to docks to be loaded on ships. They then used the mined iron to make railroads, buildings like skyscrapers, cars, bridges, and many other things. The ore itself was found in Minnesota by a geologist in 1865. They didn't realize the true wealth and vastness of the iron ore until the 1890s.
