It dates back to the 1800s , and it's making a comeback!
The Iron Bull Mine hosted a "Grand Blast" to commemorate the return of iron mining to our region.
Community members and elected officials were on hand to celebrate the reopening which is said to bring a good economic boom to the county.
The mine plans to bring jobs to the area, as well as quite a bit of revenue.
