| Old Trails's post office was established February 29, 1916 and discontinued July 21, 1925. Old Trails had electric lights, graded streets, a hospital, steam laundry, ice cream and bakery shop, bottling works, sheet metal works, and telephones. At one time there was over 500 residents. Opened to commemorate the famous trails that once linked early settlements, Old Trails was still dependent on the mines which finally played out in 1925, and so did the town. |
