Gillett, Arizona Ghost Town

You’ll find Gillett just north of Phoenix, where crumbling foundations and the weathered Burfind Hotel tell stories of a booming 1870s silver mill town. Once home to 500 residents, nine saloons, and the notorious Ghost Bandit, this authentic Arizona ghost town thrived briefly before declining after 1886. The site sits on private property requiring permission to visit, with unmarked graves and scattered artifacts silently preserving frontier tales waiting to be discovered.
