Below: This abandoned old mining town has been refurbished as a tourist
attraction, and includes a mine tour, rides, shops and more. The two
RV Gypsies just happened to be passing by it, so they decided to stop
and take a quick walk-through the area. |

Back in the 1890′s Goldfield
boasted three saloons, a boarding house, general store, blacksmith shop,
brewery, meat market and a school house. Just when it looked like the
town would outgrow Mesa, the vein faulted, the grade of ore dropped
and the town died a slow painful death.
After several unsuccessful attempts to reopen the mines, the town
came to life again from 1910 on and off until 1926.
Now, travelers from all over the world may now visit this gold mining
town located on the historic Apache Trail and enjoy the excitement and
grandeur of Arizona's wild west! |

Note: There were a lot of
things to see and do here that the two RV Gypsies did not take the time
to do sometimes because they charged a fee and sometimes just because
they did not want to spend that much time here. Attractions include
- The Superstition Narrow Gauge Railroad, Goldfield Mine Tours, Ghost
Walking tour, Apache Trail tours, a Reptile Exhibit, gunfight in the
street, a shooting gallery, gold panning and more. |
