Located within the Cedar Creek Historic Mining District, the Gildersleeve mine is the heart of a family-run hard rock mining operation established and run by the Gildersleeve family of Superior, Montana. It is a unique mining community built atop tailings from late 19th-century mining activities." The complex also supported U.S. Forest Service activity.
