ON SEPTEMBER 01, 1998, Ghost Town USAs version of the Ghost Town of the Month was born.  I will admit that I did not originate the idea, but borrowed it from another site, one I have always enjoyed and admired – ARIZONA GHOST TOWNS.com.  My idea was not to copy them, but take it in my own direction by featuring ghost towns from all over.  SO - Here we are 17 years later.  AZ Ghost Towns (of which I am not affiliated) is still going strong and still publishing their AZ Ghost Towns of the Month.  AND - here we are, still doing likewise!  So I’m thanking William Morgan for his contribution to American ghost town knowledge.  I hope we both can keep our fires burning bright for another 17+ years!

 

Below is a list of all the ghost and semi-ghost towns that have graced the pages of GHOST TOWN USA’s “GHOST TOWN OF THE MONTH”. 

 

The first list is by year, the second, alphabetic by location.  ENJOY!
