The ghost town of Bodie is one of the best preserved western boom towns left.  It's the bones of history kept in a state of arrested decay by the park rangers and volunteers.  In its time, it was one of the most exciting mining camps in the west, but a dangerous place with a violent history of gunfights and gamblers, ladies of the evening, and all the trappings of western lore.  Come explore the history of this town with us.
