What's Fort Misery all 
?
Fort Misery was built by a man who helped build the railroad to Crown King. The mining camp got its name because of the hard times that people experienced there. Fort Misery is one of several mining camps located near Crown King. People lived in Fort Misery until the 1920's.
How do I get to Fort Misery?
Fort Misery is not too hard to find, but requires a
4-wheel-drive vehicle. From Phoenix take I-17 (the Black Canyon Freeway) North
to Crown King exit. The Fort Misery mine was five miles southwest of Crown King,
7 miles from what was the Old Senator Highway.
