Inside of one of the house's. I wonder what life was like living here many many years ago. It had to have been a hard life, but they appeared to have all the modern conveniences of that time-frame.

Banská Štiavnica's old medieval mining centre grew into a town with Renaissance palaces, 16th-century churches, elegant squares and castles. The urban centre blends into the surrounding landscape, which contains vital relics of the mining and metallurgical activities of the past, like the world’s first technical university devoted to Chemistry, Physics and Mineralogy was founded here in 1762.

This is Silverton Colorado an old mining town with personality. There are beautiful mountains, lots of eateries and shopping. We stayed at the Wyman Inn. Enjoyed the 4 PM tea and pastries and the 5 PM wine and cheese... Great place to hang your hat for the night, cowboy!

Maybe a general store?

A restored ghost town. Not what we took the Anaconda road in search of, but pretty all the same.
