Visit Belmont Ghost Town, Nevada

Simular to many of the historic cities in old Nevada, the grand, bustling city of Belmont has dwindled into one of the state’s more iconic ghost towns. The town started off after a silver strike in 1865. The town reached its largest population at 2,000 and included four stores, two saloons, five restaurants, livery stable, a post office, an assay office, a bank, school, telegraph office, two newspapers, and a blacksmith shop. The population boom was short-lived however, and by 1887 several of the mines shut down. It's located north of Tonopah.
