[Download PDF for Printing]Old Abandoned Mines and Ghost Towns
Wyoming mines and ghost towns seem to go hand in hand at
several different locations all over the state. There have been several minerals, gold and ores dug out of this
state, but it seems like most were just boom and then went bust. The prime resources the state is offering up
now are black gold (petroleum) coalmines, potash and several others. Some of the towns actually took hold and
lasted but that was normally because of ranching or the need for lumber.
