The Ghost Towns of Southern California For explorers interested in American history, the ghost towns of Southern California, still having the spirit of the time when California was a gold boom, are very interesting places to visit. Well known as the “Living Ghost Town”, Randsburg, sitting on the rural reaches of the high desert between Death Valley and the tail of the Sierra Nevada attracts tourists with its rich mining history, antique stores, gift shops, historic sites, a real western saloon, and a museum. Another ghost town, Calico, a Silver Rush ghost town in San Bernardino County, has been restored as close as possible so the original buildings look as they did in the 1880’s. Along with its history and attractions, Calico has shops, restaurants, trails for mountain bikes, ATVs, motorcycles and 4-wheelers and a campground. One of Calico’s restaurants serves up meals of the late 1880’s: stews, shepherd’s pie, meatloaf, and the famous Buffalo Burger. Signature events such as the Civil War Re-enactment on President’s Day weekend, and the Bluegrass in the Spring Festival take place in Calico. In another ghost town, Julian, you will be offered an interesting guided tour and gold panning.
