We drove the 10 miles of unpaved road in my little sedan to get to Castle Dome. What a neat ghost town! There are two sections of Castle Dome, one being the ghost town, the other being the mining district. Now I know the buildings of the ghost town are not set up in their original location --rather crammed together... More

It costs 10$. But 100% worth it. Super. ......... It is very authentic. The ride in is a little bumpy but no problem.

About 40 miles north of Yuma 10 miles out on a dirt road but worth the trip is a nice ghost town and mine. Spent most of one day there enjoyed the buildings and its an easy walk. If you have a chance or time to kill well worth the visist

A perfect shot of the history and cross section of an old mining town. Plenty of information and stories given through out the self guided tour. One of the few places that still trust people not to remove or touch items. Well worth the drive and your fee. A must see if you are in the area!!!

Always enjoy the drive up Highway 95 to this Museum. You will have about 7 miles of gravel road to get to it but it is worth it once you get there. A whole little Ghost Town villeage for you to explore!

This was a neat experience. Lots of authentic old buildings etc. Also was neat to walk around the grounds and see the old mine shafts. The ride out there from Yuma was neat also..

This is a way out of Yuma, and a fair drive along a reasonable dirt road, so make sure you check where you are going before you set off. It is a fascinating site, with many buildings filled with the belongings of those who used to live there, or other items from the right period. You aren't allowed to take... More

I found this place off of a TripAdvisor search. We saw a few people on the 10 mile dirt road looking a little confused, as if to say 'are we going the right way?!' but paid them no mind and made it here all the same. Huge photo opportunities at this place, I was so glad to have packed my... More

They've relocated buildings of a former mining town so that you can imagine what it was like to live here back in the wild west. So much stuff here (buildings, artifacts, gravesite, mine sites) that you could spend hours if you were so inclined. Doesn't feel too "ghosty" since everything is rather jammed together, but quite a site to see... More

Had a wonderful time with the grandchildren! They truly enjoyed the adventure and the asking of so many questions as to how life must have been! Loved the chapel and the general store. The setting is great!!!! Great time!!!
