Picher

Note: An environmental disaster ghost town eight miles (13km) north of Miami, Picher is part of the Tar Creek Superfund Site. Toxic heavy metal dust may still contaminate the area.

Pichermuseum - Abandoned Picher Mining Museum (in 2008)

Founded 1913 after lead and zinc deposits were discovered on leased Quapaw land, Pitcher was once a city of 15,000 (on US 69, bordering Treece, Kansas) which produced lead for bullets for two world wars. Mining ended in 1957; population declined 80-90% in the following decade. 14,000 abandoned mine shafts, 70 million tons of mine tailings, and 36 million tons of mill sand and sludge were left behind, undermining 85% of the city's buildings and contaminating potable water supplies with lead. A 2006 state-sponsored buyout and permanent evacuation were already well underway when, on May 10, 2008, an EF4 tornado killed eight people and cut a mile-wide swath through town. The tornado-damaged structures were never rebuilt.

The 1,000 maps, 500 photos and various artifacts from the Picher Mining Field Museum (N Connell Ave, in the 1926 Tri-State Zinc and Lead Ore Producers Association office) were moved to the Baxter Springs Historical Society Museum in 2008. The city hall was closed and its archives turned over to the Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College in Miami in 2010. Most buildings were torn down in 2011. The town disincorporated and disappeared from maps in 2013. In 2014, six residents remained. An arsonist burned the empty, abandoned mining museum to the ground on April 14, 2015. Old Miner's Pharmacy and the last remaining business, died when its proprietor Gary Linderman (Sept. 8, 1954-June 6, 2023) gave up the ghost after a sudden illness.

While most buildings were demolished, a few still stand - mostly as ruins. An abandoned Catholic church, a ruined swimmingpool hall, an auction house, a building where mining equipment was sold and a small collection of homes are all slowly deteriorating.
