I’ve experienced only one real ghost town in Virginia City, Montana. A beautiful but almost empty spot that seems to be long past dead— a reality to which it is oblivious—on a small scenic highway. I did stop in the one saloon in town and afterwards fed some horses in a nearby pasture. I strongly sensed things were once very different up there, though. There were certain hints of different circumstances in another time. For admires of the Old West it is well worth visiting if y’all ever get up to the nearby Yellowstone area.

Here is a pic of Virginia City, Mt. The saloon I mentioned is on the right, just out of frame:

A little history 3/4 down the page.
