Information

Lake Chandler RuinsChandler was a short-lived industrial town established during WWII to process alunite from nearby Lake Campion into potash, which was needed after overseas supplies were cut off. After the war, the potash operation closed and the site was later used for gypsum production for plaster products. At its peak, Chandler had houses, streets, a school, power house and other town facilities, but production ended in the early 1950s and the town was abandoned.
