Goldfield Ghost Town The site of a real 1890s ghost town built near the Mammoth Mine. The mine sputtered out after five years, and so did the town. Now it's a tourist stop between Apache Junction and Tortilla Flat, made up of reconstructed buildings built in the 1980s and '90s.
There are restaurants, shops, a church, a kid-friendly brothel, a small museum, a train ride, and a reptile exhibit. There's lots of old rusty mining equipment lying around, and there's a pretty decent mine tour -- ours was led by a knowledgeable guy with a really dry sense of humor.
There's also an hourly street drama involving hookers, the town drunk, and bad guys that ends in a gunfight. [Dean Jeffrey, 02/16/2008]
