Great place to visit. Really wanted to buy some things from the Trading Post but no one around. A really cool place, leave some in the can to support the efforts to keep this place going.

Great place to visit. There's a museum with a suggested fee of 2 per vehicle. We got welcomed by a friend of the owner who gave us a 'tour'. Very friendly and knowledgeable
Not the largest nor the ghostiest of ghost towns. But I added several stars for their incredible welcome sign. It was too early and covid-y to hit the outpost or museum but I'm looking forward to etching this sign's words into my next welcome mat.
This place is a real trip. We drove in and nary a person in sight. The wife wanted a bathroom, and there was a sign directing her there. Given the location and the general decrepitude of the place, it was with some trepidation that she headed to the back of the general store. In the meantime I went up to the door of the store which was unlit and empty of people, and was shocked to find that it was unlocked. So I went in, and found a most interesting place. Lots of junk, memorabilia, and photos. On the store sat a jar with some money in it and a sign that requested donations. Suggested 2.00 per car. On a counter top was another jar to put money in for cold drinks. I opened the cooler and took not of the fact that it had sodas and beer in it. They were all sitting in warm water. I think there was a sign with prices for the drinks. Still no human presence. Moving into a little alcove off of the main room, there was a rack with tee shirts and sweat shirts with the Ballarat name on them. Also with a jar for payment. And, then there was a little cabinet with all manner of nostrums that a traveler might need. Aspirin, sun block, etc. The wife returned with a bathroom report and said it was pretty clean. And, like everywhere else, they requested a donation for its use, which seemed quite reasonable given the location----miles from anything. Eventually a fellow did appear who was quite friendly and claimed to be a part owner of the town. He answered our questions and told us some history. An interesting experience to say the least.
How can you not love a ghost town.. especially when they have beautiful night skies and so many interesting things to look at from our history. This place is AMAZING for camping and to roll in for a snack while tslking to Chuck! Be sure to tell him I said hi!

This is a fun little ghost town in the middle of no where. The road is a bit rough to get there. They have clean bathrooms too!!!
Nice place, but there are too many flies. Be ready.
