Frisco was a rough silver camp from 1879 to 1929 after the Horn Silver Mine strike of 1876, peaking at a few thousand residents. Its charcoal kilns, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, foundations, tailings and cemetery remain west of Milford. The mine area is private land with hidden shafts, so stay outside it.
Kilns are the main sight; the mine area is private, dangerous and best viewed from afar.
