Calico Ghost Town

36600 Ghost Town Rd Yermo California 92398, USA

Introduction

Calico was once a thriving silver mine during the peak of California's silver mining industry. It attracted over 2,500 young dreamers who labored under the scorching sun for their futures. In 1895, the silver price plummeted, and the mines turned into ruins, leading to the decline of Calico. It is now a ghost town with a desert climate, hot in summer and cooler from November to March. It still retains the charm of the old western era, with its old-fashioned bars, western streets, shops, and mining areas. The Mystery Shack, where gravity defies logic, is a fascinating place to visit, along with the silver mine ruins, shooting range, theater, and museum. Street performances and cowboy shootouts are also worth watching.
