original host town with shops and near river. 13 minutes away. A must see, with lots to see!
Silver City Ghost Town is a town made by the Mills family. They decided in the late 1960s and early 1970s to save historic buildings around the valley and bring them to their current location. A large majority of these buildings were slated for destruction before being moved and date back to the 1800s. Silver City Ghost Town is listed on dozens of film location scout websites as well as with the California Film Commission, and the Los Angeles and Kern County Film Commissions. It has been the site of numerous film and video shoots since 1990 including use by Warner Chappell Music, A & E, The History Channel's This Week in History and a Nissan commercial. It has also been utilized for dozens of other still photo projects, independent film shoots and student films. Silver City has captured the essence and serenity of the best of the historic mining camps in the Kern Valley in a non-commercial museum like setting. There is a fee to enter, kids under 5 are free, kids 6-12 are $5.50 and everyone 13+ is $7.50.
