Mining in Cornwall and Devon, in the southwest of Britain, is thought to have begun in the early-middle Bronze Age with the exploitation of cassiterite. Tin, and later copper, were the most commonly extracted metals. Some tin mining continued long after the mining of other metals had become unprofitable, but ended in the late 20th century. In 2021, it was announced that a new mine was extracting battery-grade lithium carbonate, more than 20 years after the closure of the last South Crofty tin mine in Cornwall in 1998.

The Plum Grove Primitive Methodist Church is a historic church on County Trunk Highway BB in Ridgeway, Wisconsin. The church was built in 1882 for a newly formed Methodist congregation, an outgrowth of the large Methodist community in Mineral Point. In the 19th century, both Mineral Point and Iowa County as a whole had a large Cornish immigrant population who came to the area to work in its lead and zinc mines; as the immigrants were predominantly Methodist, they build many new Methodist churches for their congregations. The Plum Grove church is a one-story Gothic Revival wood frame structure with board siding, an arched entrance and windows, and a gable roof. The church changed its affiliation to the Congregational Church in 1913, and regular services in the 1882 building stopped around the same time. The Plum Grove community converted the building to a community center in the 1930s and used it for local events until the 1970s.

Mineral Point Hill is a hill and former mining site in Mineral Point, Wisconsin, bounded by Wisconsin Highway 23, Shake Rag Street, Copper Street, and Dodge Street. It is the site of the 1825 discovery of lead ore in Mineral Point, which drew settlers to the region over the next decade. Many of these new residents were Cornish immigrants, and they settled in a community called Pendarvis at the base of the hill. The wave of settlement led to Mineral Point's establishment in the 1830s, making it the third-oldest city in Wisconsin. The hill was also the site of the Merry Christmas zinc mine, which operated from 1906 to 1912; by this point, zinc had supplanted lead as the area's most plentiful resource. The site includes a mine office building, the shaft of the Merry Christmas mine, and several filled mine sites.
