Bodie State Historic Park Details
Tucked away on the eastern hills of the Sierra Nevada Mountain range sits this historic ghost town. Established in the mid-1870s, this town became a flourishing area for gold panners and miners, with almost 10,000 residents during its heyday. However, it was mostly abandoned by the early 1900s once the mines started to close. Although many of the buildings have been destroyed, approximately 100 structures from that time still remain. During your visit to the town, you will be able to see homes, banks, schoolhouses, churches, saloons, and even a gold mill.
