Ghost Towns and Mines

 
 


Goldfield was home to over 30,000 people at its peak. Now about 400 remain. Much of the town was wiped out by fires and an infamous flash flood. There are still many historic buildings, mines and ruins in and around the town.

In recent years, the Goldfield Historical Society has been collecting and preserving railroad equipment and artifacts in Goldfield, apparently with the intention of creating a railroad museum there.
