Miners, settlers, lawman and outlaws all called this area home.

On this tour,  we'll have special access into some unique building sites located within each of the ghost towns. 
Lake Valley Ghost town: Established in 1878 after silver was discovered.
 Over 2.5 million ounces of silver came from the fabled " Bridal Chamber" Mine. The town was an important railhead. The last resident passed away in 1974.
 At one time the town had a bustling population of over 4,000 people. 
Hillsboro: Founded in 1877, following the discovery of gold! 
The town was always under threat of attack from the raiding Apache's who considered this whole area their homeland. 
Opportunity and Reedy Pat Mines were some of the big mines. 
In 1896, the famous trial of the murdered Judge Albert Fountain and his son Henry, 8 years old, was held at the old brick courthouse. Lawman Pat Garrett was in town for the trial. 
Sadie Orchard had her brothel and hotel here and co-owned and drove the stagecoach line.
Kingston: Founded in 1882. Rich lode of silver ore discovered at the Solitaire Mine.
One of the wildest towns of the Old West!
 Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and Black Jack Ketchum are just some of the historical figures which walked the streets of old Kingston. Back in the day, it had 23 saloons!
You will be taught to use the ghost hunting equipment and tools such as K-2 meters, recorders, night vision cameras, rim-pods, iovilus device, trigger objects and more!
 A professional paranormal team from El Paso, PRI, (Paranormal Research Investigations) led by Ramiro Galvan, will be teaching you how to do investigations using the equipment as you explore the Old West towns!
After you walk over to explore Kinston's cemetery, we will have prepared for you a delicious, hot grilled dinner cooked outdoors for you at the Black Range Lodge.
 
Sit in the camp chairs outside the Lodge and enjoy your hot grilled dinner next to the roaring fire pit as Barbra, a local historian, shares the old west history of the ghost towns, as well as some spooky ghost stories! After dinner and the stories, we will pass out the old fashion lanterns to our guests so that you can do some paranormal investigations of the historic buildings in Kingston!
