Exploring Sasco: Arizona's Forgotten Mining Town

Join us as we explore the historic ghost town of Sasco, once a thriving hub for copper mining in Arizona. Founded in 1907 with the establishment of a smelter by the Southern Arizona Smelter Company, Sasco was home to miners and their families, serving as a company town complete with schools, housing, and a post office. At its peak, the town flourished as copper mining boomed, but as the industry declined, so did Sasco. By the mid-20th century, the town was abandoned, leaving behind the eerie remnants of a once-vibrant community. In this video, we journey through the haunting ruins and uncover the fascinating history of Sasco, a poignant reminder of Arizona's mining past.
