Calico was bustling with prospectors back in 1881, and silver was king in the Calico Mining district. Over
500 mines were located in the area and created great wealth between 1881 and 1907.
Calico Ghost Town is located at I-15 at Ghost Town Road, just minutes north of Barstow, California.
Thanks to Walter Knott, founder of Knott's Berry Farm, it was restored to much of its original glory, and in
1966 it was donated to San Bernardino County. Today it is operated as a County Regional Park and offers
a wide variety of attractions.
Below are some pictures of Calico that we took when visiting in the Summer of 2008. Enjoy!
