Ghost Towns of California-
California is home to some of the best ghost towns in the United States.
These old settlements can be found in many parts of the state, but the
majority are in central California, generally west of San Francisco, in
what is call the "Mother Lode" country. Here, gold and other metal were
discovered during the middle and late 19th century. The remainder of these
towns, many of which began as mining camps, can be found in the northwest
part of the state or in the southeast desert area. This guide covers full
fledged ghost towns which are true ghost towns, abandoned communities
with no residents, where unrestored buildings or remnants of them can
be seen. Restored or rebuilt ghost towns, most of which are thriving communities,
such as Auburn and Grass Valley. We also cover partial ghost towns where
the town has survived to the present time and limited or scattered remains
of ghost towns. All of the towns are worth a visit and will reward the
traveler with a glimpse of bygone days. It was not possible to include
every California ghost town in this guide, but this section includes some
of the best. Most settlements can be reached with ease, although few may
require a four-wheel drive vehicle. Poor roads and other hazards are mentioned
in the text. 48 pages, covers 39 Ghost towns.
