Oatman, Arizona is a small community located in northwestern Arizona. It was first known for its mines which ushered in fortunes and burros. Following the fall of the mining era the burros remained in the area thriving in the rocky terrain. Route 66 found its way to the community and tourism boomed for a short time before bypassing the community all together. But this was not to be the end of Oatman, instead this Ghost town community refused to roll up the sidewalks and die and today it is one of the most unique places to visit in Arizona.

One of the most successful Silver mines in California history was in Calico, California. It was here that a community bustled with production and became synonymous with its influence. In its later years, like many productive mining communities, it fell on hard times and was thought to be lost and abandoned. But an infamous name and face in California came along to save it from being all but forgotten and preserve the structures while rebuilding others. Today we explore the infamous Calico Ghost Town, a town that simply will not die and instead will live in legends.

Centralia, Pennsylvania was small town in a rural, coal-mining country of Pennsylvania. Since 1962 an underground coal fire has been smouldering. Centralia's inhabitants were forced to move away due to the instability of the ground here, over the years the town turned into a ghost town. Now hardly a house is left standing, only an empty grid of streets, some cracked roads and smoke emanating from the ground as evidence of the continued fires underfoot. It's an eerie place to visit, but tourists still come to see what is left of this once bustling town left in ruin.

Until recently, I haven’t spent much time in the west, and I’ve got to say, ghost towns are wild. Imagine that you create an entire town, and thousands of people live and work at the mine and associated businesses. Then, one day, the mine runs dry, and everyone leaves. Boom. Ghost town. There are a lot of ghost towns in the southwest, even those that don’t officially call themselves one yet, but none are more famous than Tombstone.
