28 Ghost Towns That Have Transformed Into Tourist Hotspots
17. Mogollon, New Mexico: A Mountain Town Resurrected
Nestled deep in the Gila Mountains, Mogollon was once a gold and silver mining hub in the late 19th century. After its near-total abandonment in the mid-20th century, Mogollon slowly found new life through preservation efforts and seasonal tourism. Today, this remote ghost town boasts restored buildings, a quirky general store, a small museum, and occasional performances in its historic theater. Open seasonally, it offers a peaceful yet immersive escape for those who crave Wild West history with a creative twist. The scenic drive alone makes it worth the trip.
