Calico Ghost Town

Calico Ghost Town is a former silver mining town in California. It's one of the worlds most famous ghost towns.

Calico had around 500 silver mines and produced over $20 million in Silver ore in 12 years. In the 1890s silver lost its value and people began to leave Calico and thus became abandoned.

It was later bought by Walter Knott and most buildings were restored. There were also many attractions added, like camping, a museum, a railroad, shops, restaurants and more.
