Metropolis, Nevada - Modern-Day Ghost Town

Great ghost town. It's not a very long drive off the pavement. Worth a look if you're interested in ghost towns. [John Braun, 02/26/2005]

[RA: This is a more recent ghost town, first settled in 1910 and dead by 1935, so instead of rotting Old West buildings the remnants are concrete foundations of a school, hotel, etc. According to Howard Hickson's Histories: "Drought, water rights litigation, high interest rates, jackrabbits and Mormon crickets contributed to the demise of the town and surrounding farms."]
