Every year, individuals who used to work or live in the mining town of Stibnite get together to share stories and reminisce about what it was like during the mine’s old heyday. This year, the Stibniter’s Reunion was held at Ponderosa State Park in McCall .
Hearing the stories of Stibniter’s about what the site used to be like is a remarkable experience.
