Ghost Town Fence
Old picket fence in Grafton Ghost Town. The sandstone mountain off in the background in part of Zion National Park. Utah.
Grafton is a ghost town, just south of Zion National Park in Washington County, Utah. Grafton is said to be the most photographed ghost town in the West, it has been featured as a location in several films, including 1929's In Old Arizona—the first talkie filmed outdoors—and the classic Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. By 1890 only four families remained. The end of the town is usually traced to 1921, when the local branch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was discontinued. The last residents left Grafton in 1944. The nearest inhabited town is Rockville, which now includes the Grafton ghost town inside its legal boundaries. -- Courtesy Wikipedia
