The Calico Ghost town is a former mining camp located in the Barstow/Yermo area in the California Mojave Desert.

It was initially acquired by Walter Knott (of Knott's Berry Farm) to preserve and create a tourist attraction. In time it was acquired by San Bernardino County. About 1/3 of the buildings are original.

For its website see: Calico
