The Town of Winkelman has the second out of seven ore carts completed in the Copper Corridor. The Town of Mammoth had the first one completed. Artist, Nancy Dunst from Sedona had been working on the ore cart in Winkelman and recently finished it. Patience, hard work and dedication went into this project.
The Copper Ore Cart Trail highlights the unique copper mining history and culture of this region. The purpose of the Ore Cart Trail is to attract tourism. The Ore Cart Trail has much to offer with the scenic route and natural attractions such as the San Pedro River, the Gila River and the various mountain ranges.
The idea for the Copper Corridor Ore Cart Trail was conceived of by artist Mary Myers of Mammoth who suggested it to the Copper Corridor Coalition. The Winkelman project partnered with Arizona Department of Transportation, ASARCO, Sky Engineering, Copper Basin Railway, S.E. Consultants, the Southern Gila County Economic Development Corporation and the Town of Winkelman.
