Calico ghost town

While driving from Fresno to Las Vegas I spotted a sign for a ghost town. I convinced my husband to stop. Here are a few pictures of the old mining town.



The sign on Town Hall lists population changes throughout the years. Here are some of the figures: 40 people on 1881, 1,200 in 1887 and 800 in 1890.


Here is a picture of the old schoolhouse.
