Tried to go to the mine but it was closed. They are only open between 9:30 AM and 10:00 AM, Wed to Sat, otherwise the gate is locked. it does look like fun and it is an easy and scenic drive from Wickenburg. The new owners need to embrace the Internet and put up a simple page. More

The Vulture Mine is back open for tours, Wed-Fri. Get there between 9:30 and 10:00 AM, for a quided tour. The new owners are cleaning up years of neglect and are busy rehabbing what is still there! It is exciting to watch the progress and hear what their vision is. Well worth the trip and visit. More

An amazing collection of the 'machinary that built America'. Much of it is unrestored and a rather jumbled collection. Restoration efforst are underway on many items. It is a wonderful collection of old tools and machinary to just browse through. More

He gave us some history, answered some questions and sent us on our adventure. When we arrived my camera died. Brand new batteries. I went through 6 batteries before I gave up for... More

A true ghost town. I am sad it won't be around much longer. See it while you can. Amazing history in this little town. More

We thought we'd spend 45 minutes or so here. Wrong...we were there much longer. There is so much to see...several buildings still have tools and parts on the workbenches there, as if the town's occupants just got up and left. Bring a hat, some sunblock, plenty of water, and take your time going through the townsite...if you love history like... More
