Description: Entrance of the Goldfield Ghost Town. Goldfield was a mining town established in 1893 next door to the Superstition Mountain. When the mine vein faulted, the grade of ore dropped and the town eventually became a ghost town. The town and its historic buildings were revived as a tourist attraction. The ghost town is located at 4650 N, Mammoth Mine Road in the town of Apache Junction, Az.
