Howdy! I think I would have stayed, if I was in his circumstances; but am not sure for myself. His home is so nice! In-fact, with a little love it could still be inhabited or used as a living-museum (similar to your video about Mrs. Temples home). Thank you so much for stopping by and please stay safe!

Milton Larson use to babysit me when I was a little girl in Ironton . I loved him to pieces he always had marshmallows for me and I’d take a nap on his bed while my dad James Dillon “ who was also a prospector” would go to whatever he had to do. I spent time in his house drank from his bucket of water. Wonderful wonderful memories! I loved to take my naps there on his old bed which had a pillow that as long as the bed!

Howdy folks, it's your old cowboy friend and visitor to Ironton. I heard about Milton and how he was on TV in the 60's, and ever since I heard about the town since June I wanted to see that episode. Thanks for showin' it. I also visited the Larson Bros. mine and all the buildings in Ironton such as the structures shown . I was actually in that building when I was there in late June this year I didn't know that was his house. It was haunting being in there and even more haunting now. Sorry for the rant, but I'm really grateful this video exists. I recommend that area of Co the San Juan Triangle because of it's wonderous beauty and ghost towns. I was amazed that over 10 buildings, some two stories still stand, there are entire mine complexes that are still there after 70 to 100 years! As a cowboy (singing cowboy) and someone so interested in the 1880's and '40s (partly because I lived during this time) it was a beautiful experience to walk the halls of these buildings. Thanks to the folks who made this and the ones who preserved these buildings!

I just happened across this video today while digging a bit deeper for information on Milton Larson - unbelievably, I had somehow never put two and two together regarding the Larson Brothers mine; it had never occurred to me that this was the same Larson family. I love that you seem to have found Milton's old home (I think you're probably right - that looks like it's his house), and also that you touched on so much detailed history that I had never heard about. I've been to Ironton a few times, but have never taken that hike to his house. I definitely will now. I also like the detail you gave about that old bunkhouse, and the garage across the highway from it. From the bunkhouse, there's a short hike you can take to the Beaver-Belfast mine remnants - that's another very cool spot, you can see the trailhead and the logbook at 6:44

I think you are correct about which house was one of the last houses used in irontion. I have visted te town several times. If you look close at the house you will see it still has a piece of phone wire hanging on the side of it.

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts. It is a great place to visit. I noticed the wire and porcelain on the outside. On the inside I saw the outline of where wires were laid on the ceiling (probably electrical lines). To my understanding he had a phone; however, I did not spot any telephone poles or lines. But the house tells a different story, I suppose the poles were removed or moved closer to the highway. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts and all the best!
