Calico, CA
This town developed in 1881 from silver discoveries in the Calico Mountains. The silver deposits were fabulously rich an produced around 20$ million dollars in silver ore and borates before the price of silver dropped in 1896 and the town became a ghost. Today, Calico is some kind of theme park, but Hank's Saloon and the remains of the mine are original.
