Overview

Please call for reservations during the warmer months "What you will see here is a remnant town which stood larger than Yuma in 1878. Her weather beaten buildings remain great day trip in the lower Colorado river in an area little changed from the 1800's. The mills stand silent, housing original boiler, stamp mill, and elevator, as if tomorrow they will awaken to the thunderous roar of steel crushing rock. The boardwalks still creak, the church bell rings out, the five saloons just await the story of their last shootout. Over 50 building in 3 areas are now open, with more history being added. April 15 through September you will need to call for hours. October 1st through April 30th we are open 7 days a week.

Great place!

Be sure to go on the tour of the Hull Mine. Worth every penny! You will be traveling on a gravel road but in very good condition. Allow at least 1/2 day. Plan to go again!

Fun tour

Even though the road to travel on is awful seeing the old mining town was so interesting. Didnt know about the tour into mine so couldnt do that since reservations needed to be made before hand. So much to see.

Great amount of history here

Drove out to Castle dome, even though it was 94 degrees. The last 7 miles of the road is unpaved which makes it bumpy and dusty, but anyone can get there. There's a great collection of items from 1800's. The buildings are in good condition....More

FOLKS DON’T GO THERE!

Drive to the middle of nowhere to see a bunch of old buildings @ $15 per adult and $7 per child is significantly beyond a waste of time and money.

Off-roading in a Ford Fiesta!

Ok, so not real off-roading, but the 7 miles of gravel road leading to the area is certainly an adventure in itself. This place “strongly prefers cash” so make sure you have some. It was $15pp (adults). Follow the signs to the museum gift shop,...More

Worth several miles of dirt road to get to.

Two seniors, two teens and a three-year old had a great time at this very interesting and well laid out museum/ghost town. Shows what living in a mining town was like.

I loved this place!

You could spend a couple of hours here easy! You go in several buildings can pick up and look at the old stuff. The old West at it's best. Don't go here looking for pristine conditions. It's condition is raw and dirty!
