The Old West: Calico Ghost Town

The Old West: Calico Ghost Town Calico is an old West mining town that has been around since 1881 and was abandoned in the mid-1890s after silver lost its value. The town that once gave miners a good living lost its hustle and became a “ghost town.” If you're interested in any of the music or sound effects I chose today please click here to try Epidemic Sound for yourself.

Calico received State Historical Landmark 782 and in 2005 was proclaimed by then Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to be California’s Silver Rush Ghost Town. Today, Calico is part of the San Bernardino County Regional Parks system, which is visited by people from across the country and from all over the world.
