At Tintic Mill, come for the early 20th-century industrialism snuggled into what’s now a wildlife management area. Stay to be sickened by lead, arsenic and have a state agent ticket you for trespassing.
The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources on Tuesday issued what’s become a biennial reminder that Tintic Standard Reduction Mill, near Goshen, is closed to the public. The latest news release from DWR says some of the foot traffic to the mill appears to be driven by online guides calling the mill a good place for photography.
Tintic Mill is a remnant of Utah’s mining heritage.
