Back in the
1890's Goldfield boasted 3 saloons, a boarding house, general store, blacksmith shop, brewery, meat market and a school house. Just when it looked like
the town would outgrow Mesa, the vein faulted, the grade of ore dropped
and the town died a slow painful death. After several unsuccessful
attempts to reopen the mines, the town did come to life again from 1910 on
and off until 1926.
After more
than 115 years, travelers from all over the world
still visit this gold mining town located on the
historic
Apache Trail and enjoy the
excitement and grandeur of Arizona's wild west !
