ABM Logo New Leonard Mine

The New Leonard Mine was established during World War II by the government, and closed sometime in 1981. The mine is located in Rockaway on the Tilcon property and has been closed to the public for some time now. The grounds are extensive and at one point the mine was producing ore at a phenomenal rate. Beneath the triangular building lies a mine shaft that goes down 2700 feet into the ground!
