Visitor Tips and News About Calico Ghost Town
Following are Calico Ghost Town reports and tips that were sent in by RoadsideAmerica.com visitors. Some tips may not be verified. Submit your own tip or update.
It had been more than 100 years since the last fire leveled the wood and canvas camp. When Knox re-built Calico, every third or fourth building was adobe which acted as a fire wall. Those adobe walls and early detection are credited with saving the rest of the tourist attraction, which has now re-opened. [R. J., 08/01/2001]
[RA: Hardrock John from the Calico Ghost Town also contacted us with the news. His US mystery spots book burned up in the fire, so he's trying to find a new one. He may also have to reconstruct the "speech" for new employees.]Nearby Offbeat Places
