What small town once had a silver mine?
Acton. During the 1800s, when interest in gold and silver was surging nationwide, the discovery of a significant silver vein in Acton led to the drilling of a number of mine shafts. The effort proved unprofitable, however, and mining operations eventually were abandoned.
