Here are a few of

GHOST TOWN USA's

favorite License Plate websites

AND Facebook pages/groups

dedicated to License Plates and License Plate Collectors.

For ghost town chasing, treasure hunting (TH'ing), prospecting, genealogy, and searching for old towns your ancestors lived in, as well as lots of other interesting links, these sites are well worth visiting...

There are literally thousands of related websites out there, and this list is not intended to be all inclusive.

These are just a few of the sites I find interesting. I hope you do too. Happy web surfing!
