Tom Kelly Bottle House,
Rhyolite Ghost Town, Nevada
Bodie State Historic Park, sitting at 8,375
Virginia City, Nevada
feet in the beautiful high desert east of the
Sierra Nevada Range in California, is also
a suitable place to take your groups. Unlike
many abandoned settlements, Bodie's resilience
is unparalleled. Even in the late 1950s,
a handful of residents remained, safeguarding
its treasures and history. This dedication
protected Bodie from widespread
theft and vandalism. Today, the town offers
groups the chance to see a collection of
almost 200 historic structures, many built
between 1877 and 1881, featuring " false
fronts " of the Old West, as well as Victorian
details. The town has been kept in a state of
" arrested decay, " meaning everything has
been left the way it was when it became a
park in 1962. This makes the area a great
place for groups interested in catching a
" glimpse of a life when people had to work
a little harder for the things they had, " says
Bodie State Historic Park Interpreter Erica
Hedlund. " It allows us to imagine what our
lives would be like without the modern conveniences
we have today. "
Plan a group tour in Nevada's Rhyolite
Ghost Town, a relic of the Gold Rush era.
Here, your group can sti l l view many
remaining structures of the town abandoned
in 1916, including the Tom Kelly Bottle
House, with walls made of old glass bottles.
Explore the hills surrounding Rhyolite to
learn of the remnants of the town's mining
heritage and view everything from abandoned
mineshafts to rusting machinery.
Kenner Vorheis, Nevada Bureau of Land
Management's outdoor recreation planner,
says, " It was towns like Rhyolite that helped
build the state of Nevada, and the preservation
of that history is phenomenal. "
Next, take your group to Virginia City,
Nevada, one of the most haunted towns in
the United States. For a place considered a
ghost town, it is one of the liveliest places
to experience the supernatural, says Public
Relations Specialist Kellie Mendez. Nearly
every building, from St. Mary's Art Center
to the Old Washoe Club and Piper's Opera
House, has a story about a spirit or two
that resides long past their time. Throughout
the year, your group can experience
ghost tours, paranormal investigations, and
opportunities to tour reportedly haunted
attractions. Mendez adds, " Whether you're
looking to connect with the paranormal,
try your hand at panning for gold, or want
to learn more about the Victorian architecture
of one of the greatest cities in the West,
Virginia City has it all. "
