Exploring the Ghost Towns of Mesa County In-Person


Zebulon Miracle, a local historian at Gateway Canyons Resort will be discussing abandoned communities in this region.

A look at Mesa County’s ghost towns is a look in the economic mirror of the region. Towns have grown and disappeared all due to the boom and bust cycle that is all too common to the American West. In “Exploring Ghost Towns of Mesa County,” we will discuss some of the hopes and dreams that pioneers in the area had and built communities around making a reality. Unfortunately, not all dreams came true and what is left are fascinating reminders and remains of the past.
