| Calico Ghost Town |
1881 marked the beginning of one of the largest silver strikes in California history and the birth of Calico. This authentic silver mining town lives on as one of the few original mining camps of the Old West.
Today, you can visit this famous townsite, located at the side of towering King Mountain, where silver was king and the hills are "as purty as a gal's calico skirt."
One third of the town is original; the remaining carefully reconstructed to recreate the spirit of Calico's Old West past. Walk the streets and examine the life of miners and townspeople, and you may meet Dorsey the Mail Dog, (portrayed by "Pilot," a Delta Society therapy dog), and visit the original Cemetery. The Town of Calico is State Historic Landmark #782, and survived in the early 1900's because of borax mining within the District. This was the last place in California that the picturesque "20-mule teams" were used. |
