Goldfield Ghost Town A town on a hill between the Superstition Mountains and the Goldfield Mountains. Just five years after it began, the town found itself quickly dying.
(3981)

Goldfield’s bustling days were quickly dashed when the vein of gold ore started to play out and the grade of the ore dropped even more. The miners moved on, the post office was discontinued on November 2, 1898, and Goldfield became a ghost town. Today, Goldfield is filled with authentic looking buildings, includes underground mine tours, and the only narrow gauge railroad in operation in Arizona. Numerous shops and buildings include a brothel, bakery, leather works, a jail, livery, and more. The authentic looking street is filled with people in period costume, horses and wagons, and sometimes authentic gunfighter presentations

🇺🇸 September 11, 2001 — We Will Never Forget 🇺🇸

25 years have passed, but September 11th is a day that will never be forgotten.

Today, all of us remember the nearly 3,000 lives that were taken far too soon. We remember the families who said goodbye that morning, never knowing it would be the last time. We remember the firefighters, police officers, first responders and everyday Americans who ran toward danger to help complete strangers.

We remember the courage and the sacrifices made that day. But we also remember what happened afterward. Our country came together. We stood together, helped each other and showed what it truly meant to be united.

Today we remember every life lost, every family that was forever changed, and every hero who stepped up when they were needed most.

25 years later, we haven’t forgotten, and we never will. ❤️🤍💙

Always remembered. Always honored. Never forgotten.

On July 4, 1776, our nation’s founders declared that freedom, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness were rights worth fighting for. For 250 years, generations of brave men and women have defended those ideals, making it possible for us to enjoy the freedoms we cherish today.

As we celebrate America’s 250th birthday, we remember those who came before us, honor those who continue to serve, and appreciate the blessings of living in this incredible country. Today is about family, friends, community, gratitude, and the enduring spirit that has made America strong for two and a half centuries.

🇺🇸 We invite you to celebrate with us at Goldfield Ghost Town!

We’re OPEN today from 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM and ready to help you make unforgettable Independence Day memories.
