Calico, the ghost town, was moved to Knotts Berry Farm in Buena Park, CA in the 1950's. Remnants of the old site can still be seen off I-15 north of Barstow and the marine depot at Yermo.

bruinbirdman, Knott's Berry Farm took over Calico in the late 50's and rebuilt it where it was as a tourist attraction. Although Knott's Berry's did build a ghost town in Buena Park in their amusment park the original Calico Ghost town, although extensively rebuilt, still exists just outside of Yermo.

Actually, some of the structures were moved to Daggett about 1900. Then when Senator Clark put in his San Pedro - Los Angeles - Salt Lake Railroad, (Now part of Union Pacific) the rest of the structures went to the new town of OTIS, now Yermo, starting about 1907
