As a former silver mining town, Calico now stands as a ghost town / museum.
Founded in 1881, and almost completely abandoned by 1907, this hot, desert location once had a population of 3,500 all trying to find their fortune in silver.
It has spent almost twice as much time as a museum / park than an active silver mine.
