The abandoned mining village of Davis is the location of the Davis Pyrite Mine in Rowe, Massachusetts. Once the largest iron pyrite-mine in the state, Davis grew to be a decent sized mining village at the beginning of the Second Industrial Revolution (1870–1915). But, in 1911, a non-fatal collapse of the mine due to “poor mining practices” ended the nearly 30-year run. By 1937, the mining camp had faded, and all that remained were a blacksmith shop and about 150 cellar holes. An old, boarded up building sits at the trailhead, the site of the former Davis Mine Schoolhouse. The cache is a small lock & lock, close to the parking area.
