22 of America's Best Preserved Ghost Towns

Now that you’ve been vaccinated, you might be looking forward to traveling. If you want to start small and avoid crowds, how about a day trip to your nearest ghost town? These are towns that once thrived, but where abandoned for any of a dozen reasons. However, if the towns were built well enough to last a while, preservationists eventually discovered and protected them. Now they are windows into the past, full of life and history if you are willing to go there and learn about them. Atlas Obscura has links to 22 of these ghost towns and what you need to know before visiting them. -via Nag on the Lake
