Kennecott is a remote Alaskan town located in the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve. The town had its heyday from 1911 to 1938 when it was a hub for mining copper. Once the area's copper supply ran out, residents started leaving Kennecott. By 1950, it was completely abandoned.
Kennecott has been a National Historic Landmark since 1986, although the rickety wooden buildings still look like they did years ago.
