HISTORY & PREHISTORY
Little Star People hardly ever see ghosts in these towns, but you know they're here because of the way the wind whistles through the empty buildings.

Ghost Town

Once busy mining camps, these towns bustled with activity. The miners and prospectors came first; soon they were followed by shopkeepers, bankers, families, ministers, and all of the people it takes to make a community. Once the gold or silver was gone, the miners moved on and the towns became empty. Only their ghosts and a few weathered buildings remain.
