Step into Arizona’s gold rush past at Vulture City, an authentic ghost town lovingly preserved and operated by local historians outside Wickenburg. Featured by Atlas Obscura and the Arizona Republic, Vulture City offers guided tours of restored mining buildings, a blacksmith shop, and a schoolhouse, all brimming with stories of prospectors and pioneers. The site’s hands-on events and paranormal evenings attract a wide range of visitors, and its commitment to preservation has garnered praise from heritage organizations. The experience is immersive, informative, and distinctly tied to Arizona’s local lore.
