Burke is a ghost town in Shoshone County established in 1887. Once a thriving silver, lead and zinc mining community, the town saw significant decline in the mid-twentieth century after the closure of several mines. After several natural disasters and years of decline in the mid-twentieth century, Burke mining operations finally ceased in 1991 with the closing of the Star mine. There are still many of the mining buildings sitting abandoned throughout Burke. -from Wikipedia
