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!

Silverton Cemetery by Serendigity

Silverton Cemetery is in the desert near the ghost town. Silverton was established in the 1880s after miners came to the region seeking silver. Lead and zinc was also found in the region. Most miners moved on to the larger centre of Broken Hill nearby and Silverton gradually dwindled towards becoming a ghost town. It has been maintained as a tourist destination. Located in far western New South Wales in Australia.

Mogollon 'Ghost' Town, New Mexico - September 8, 2014 by mlhradio

Mogollon 'ghost' town, located in the wild mountains of southwest New Mexico, visited September 8, 2014. Much to my disappointment, it was much more 'town' than 'ghost', with only a handful of abandoned buildings but several houses and a few businesses, lots of people about getting things fixed up and prepared for the winter. The drive up this location was more interesting than the town itself, one-lane hairpin curves carved out of the hillside. Mogollon boasted a population of several thousand in the late nineteenth century and produced many millions of dollars in gold and silver, but as with all these mining towns, eventually fell victim to played out mines and changing economic fortunes, as well as multiple fires and floods (a creek runs through the middle of the main street).
