The Annabel Lee Mine was the last major fluorspar mine to be operated by the Ozark-Mahoning Company. It opened in November 1984 (Lillie, 1988) and closed in 1995 (Goldstein, 1997).
Note: The property where the Annabel Lee Mine shaft sits now has βNo Trespassingβ signs and is currently patrolled by the Hardin County Sheriff. Additionally, the gate to the mine site has been blocked off with logs and brush to prevent passage [Chris Clemens, Pers. Communication, 2022].
