The Ashland Kiwanis Club welcomed members of the non-profit organization White Gravel Mines on Wednesday. White Gravel Mines is a venue located in Minford, Ohio, and hosts events including 5K runs and guided tours through what was once known as the Warren Mines in Minford.
Mindy Martin, co-owner of White Gravel Mine Productions, shared a bit of the history of the reclaimed mine, as well as offered insights into future events.
âThey started mining in the early 1900sâ Martin said. âThey used dynamite, donkeys, muscle and horses to mine and haul out the white gravel and sand. And they did this for over 40 years. I have heard that they even brought someone from Europe to do the blasting on this project.â Martin said that mining operations stopped after the second World War, and it was said that the U.S. military used the mines to store supplies.
