Gunfighters at Goldfield Ghost Town
History literally comes alive (or dead) in the Goldfield Ghost Town (depending which end of the old west gunfight you’re on). You’ll tour the Mammoth Gold Mine, visit the museum and wander down Main street exploring the saloons, boarding house, brewery, meat market, pan for gold and more, just like it was 1890.Story by Beverly Lefebvre, Photos by Visit Mesa
