Mineral Point is home to the only surviving territorial governmental buildings in the United States, the first Wisconsin capitol, and the oldest surviving railroad depot in the Badger State. The village obtained its name from the mineral spring waters that filled the caves and lead mines of the region. With its scenic beauty and amazing architecture, Mineral Point is well poised to cultivate heritage tourists, who long to experience places and activities that authentically represent the past. They are seeking the irreplaceable historic, cultural, and natural resources that can only be found in a town as rich with history as Mineral Point. This artists' mecca offers pottery and art shops to explore and appreciate. The combination of both provides the explorer an unusual and interesting place to visit for a long weekend or a family vacation.

Mineral Point, Wisconsin, recounts the changing fortunes of a once rough-and-ready mining town of the 1820s. Featuring historic photographs from the collection of the Mineral Point Historical Society and Pendarvis-Wisconsin State Historic Site-an exciting history unfolds in these pages, with the arrival of miners from the fledgling United States in the 1820s in search of lead. When the demand for lead collapsed, Mineral Point shifted its focus to the mining of zinc, only to have that market drop after World War I. Mineral Point was reawakened in the 1930s with the influx of artists and others, like Edgar Hellum and Robert Neal, who were interested in historic preservation. The town has transformed itself once again, becoming a vibrant artistic, historic, and architectural center. In 1971, it became the first Wisconsin community to be placed on the National Register of Historic Places, with 514 contributing buildings. This fascinating pictorial history celebrates the people of Mineral Point-the early American settlers from Missouri, Illinois, and Kentucky, and the Cornish, German, Irish, and Italian immigrants. Mineral Point, Wisconsin, also features their legacy-their homes, businesses, schools, and organizations. These historic photos provide glimpses of the extensive zinc works that no longer exist, as well as many of the buildings still standing in the town today.

Mineral Point started as a wild and wooly frontier town. With the discovery of lead in 1828 it attracted all types of people looking to get rich, quick. These early folks left a lasting imprint in the buildings they constructed, used and left behind. This field guide documents these buildings, drawing on the rich collection of photographs held by the Mineral Point Historical Society and the Mineral Point Library Archive, and provides a unique look into what is today a quintessentially American town.
