Goldfield, Nevada
Map: © OpenStreetMap contributors — approximate location, not a photo of the site
Gold Point began as the silver camp of Lime Point in the 1860s, was called Hornsilver until 1932, and declined during World War II when gold mines were ordered shut. Its main street is still standing, and the town's buildings are privately owned, so visits are on the owners' terms, with a bed and breakfast in a restored miner's cabin.
Privately owned and largely open for tours and overnight stays; check the town's own contact details first.
