Bells Mines

Bells Mines is a ghost town in Crittenden County, Kentucky, situated in an unincorporated stretch of the county between the communities of Sturgis and Marion, not far from the Ohio River. Little documented detail survives about its origins or the activity that once sustained it.

Visitors today will find little to mark the site as a former settlement. Given how sparse the historical record is, anyone making the trip should go with modest expectations and treat it as a quiet, rural detour rather than a developed heritage destination.
