Go to-- http://goldfieldghosttown.com/ for more info on this splendid Bit Of History ! ! Back in the 1890's Goldfield boasted 3 saloons, a boarding house, general store, blacksmith shop, brewery, meat market and a school house. Just when it looked like the town would outgrow Mesa, the vein faulted, the grade of ore dropped and the town died a slow painful death. Goldfield has many shops and historic buildings... PLUS the Mammoth Gold Mine and the Goldfield Museum. I visited Goldfield Feb. 2011 with a group of photographer friends......what a delightful old Ghost town ! Located close to Apache Junction. A fun place to go for an all day trip !
It is a wonderful "Day Trip" - - not that far from Sun City - - Try to go to Goldfield as well as the Supersition Mts. - - you can see both in one day !...Fun, Historical & informative history on our Arizona....I enjoy taking photos....it is my hobby ! !
