Calico Ghost Town
1 November 2009
25 Commentsminers attended the one-room Calico School, which sometimes doubled for church service on Sundays. Back in 1885, school teachers made about -0 a month and children played games like marbles, ball and bean bag toss. Plan on a full day to explore this historic ghost town. You can relax on a rocking chair, play a game of checkers on the porch, or enjoy some good-old fashioned gold panning. Around lunchtime, grab a cool Sarsparilla and lunch plate at the Calico House Restaurant, then tour …
man i remeber i came here for my 4th grade field trip it was such a cool place. i want to go back haha. hopefully ill go there sometime soon.
Yes, it’s cool! Bodie Ghost Town is really popular too, up off the 395.
if you do go back…make absolute sure to check out the Glory Hole!!
I agree. It’s not to be missed!
i know its not my buiness at all but what made you be a traveler tip?=)
I grew up in California, lived her my whole life, and love to travel. I like to share my travels with other people, hopefully helping them out with tips and information about the destinations. Before doing this, I was a travel writer and editor, so it comes naturally for me. Hope you enjoy the videos!
calico is pretty cool, but for a real adventure one should take a look at the other ghosttowns just minutes away by 4wheelers. like hanson, the borax works down the canyon behind calico, or whats left of the huge commerical mining operations down wall street canyon.
Nice tips. Thank you!
Drove by here last week, went there 6 years ago.
maybe there are ghost there:S
Yes, the school house is supposed to be haunted.
I was there this July, It is pretty cool there. Very interesting and we could feel the history. BUT this place was almost dead… it was only us and maybe 4 more people… not mentioning that everything was closed, and we didn’t see ATM’s that were mentioned in this video…dead….
Cool place that somehow needs to be reanimated!
Hi there! The ATM is over by the coffee shop. They used to have really cool cowboy shoot-outs here on the streets, but unfortunately some guests complained about the noise and they did away with it. Too bad. They do have many fun events, including Calico Days which is coming up Oct. 9-11 with stagecoach rides, an Old West encampment, Old Miners Triathlon and other attractions.
i was there in 2000 really liked it. pan for gold that was fun. loved the house of bottles,never knew there were trails you could walk on
You can see the Glory Hole? WTF!?
looks a good day out but not really a ghost town with shops and atm lol.
It is still a real ghost town, but with “modern” conveniences.
looks creepy and isolated from the freeway i didnt know it was soo “touristy”…. not really a ghost town if people still live there…
Hi, thanks for your comment. Actually nobody lives there, but it is a tourist attraction. Check it out sometime. Pretty cool!
Its basically a bunch of shops. Go to Bodie.
Looks like a fun day.

Yes, it supposed to be haunted by Calico’s first school teacher, Margaret Oliver, and former resident Lucy Lane.
