I am asked often about ghost town suggestions, which are the best, coolest, most interesting, closest to a certain city, etc.
I decided to put together a list so people can browse through it and get ideas on what they’d like to go experience. Questions and comments are welcome, hopefully this is valuable to some.
They range from the more popular type, almost like a western movie set like Grafton to places with almost nothing there anymore like Kelton and everything in between. I have split them up by County to make it a little easier to find one in the part of the state you’ll be exploring or you can look at this map:
