  • Virginia City Montana, and Nevada City Montana, might be the greatest Ghost Towns in America. With Wild West history, outlaws, vigilantes, and Old West gold-rush boomtown mining buildings galore, complete with original artifacts everywhere thanks to an eccentric General Mills heir (Charles Bovey) these ghost towns, collectively, are unlike anywhere we've ever been before! Come along on the journey to the Old West, and step back in time to 1863 and the Rush for Montana's gold!

    Thank you Justin for filming these old western/ghost towns. I don't travel or have the funds to do so, so I visit them vicariously through you. And I love Montana.

      Your ancestors didn’t have money when they walked into a forest to chop down some trees to make a wagon.
      Then they hitched up that wagon and burned the old house down to collect the nails for the new house.
      Then once they got there.
      They lived in the wagon until they had the new cabin ready for habitation.

    Here are a couple of ideas for you.
    Way up in North East corner of Montana
    Scobey.
    When fort peck Dam flooded the area where town used to be. They moved it and made a museum out of old town.

    As a side note: many of the buildings in NC are nice enough to stay in and people do! On every weekend of the summer living history volunteers populate the town, bringing it to life. They wear 1865 clothing, work in the blacksmith shop, spin wool, cook meals, sell snake oil, play games, and the saloon indeed does sell sarsaparilla!

    Hi Justin you are so good looking at the OLD WEST with a little humour. I been to Viginia City many times , and was hoping you would go to Nevada City. Great there. If you like history. Now 1 more you missed in the area. The real BANNACK MONTANA, IS THERE. You have to see that town home of Vigilante Henry Plummer, sheriff by day robber at night. His jail still there. Bannack 1st territorial Capitol of Montana. A state park just as it was In The past. No one lives there. I did 2 paintings of Bannack..Hope you go there....bye Douglas....

    Justin mentioned 2 types of Ghost Towns, what does Calico, CA fit into? #1 or #2 or is it another kind: the Ghost Town created by an amusement industry professional for “historical accuracy”? Or what about Madrid, NM… just outside of Santa Fe. It’s a living ghost town, which I guess is kinda a cross between Bodhi and Tombstone. The old buildings remain. Some of the original businesses still operate out of their original buildings; such as the Saloon and the Engine House.
