I went to school there in the 60's. We lived in Jackpot and rode a bus to Contact. There were two teachers in the two room school, Mr. and Mrs. Rogers I believe. Coal stove for heat, outhouses for boys and girls. After a couple years a new school was built in Jackpot. One of the teachers there was Mr. Hansen. Great memories.

You mispronounced the name but that beside itself, we did a event up there and the locals got a good picture of me riding out of the cemetery on my horse wearing correct clothing. It was perfectly timed

Here is an explanation of how to pronounce Placer, as in Placer mining, which is a method of extracting gold from alluvial deposits. You might think that the word Placer is pronounced with a long a, but used in this context, it's actually a short vowel, rhyming with gasser. Thus the towns name is pronounced "Plasserville."

I was there a bit over two years ago and there is just something special about the west (from the east coast and visiting the Sawtooths). I just love "ghost towns". So much history in such a small place. Thanks for letting me revisit!

We've been there quite a few times, the last was August of 2015. We brought our daughter and three of our grandsons, all about 11-12 years old. We had always enjoyed our previous visits there and thought our grandsons would have fun.Naturally we headed straight to the fossils and had a good time, talk g lots of pictures. The was a park ranger tbere. He was an older man. One of my grandsons asked him a question about the fossils, but the ranger refused to speak to him. We left and went to Berlin. We found a picnic table and sat down to eat our lunch suddenly the ranger appeared , got out of his truck, walked within 20 feet of us and just stood there staring at us. My husband asked if there was a problem. The ranger never changed expression. He said "No". We finished our meal and left him standing there. While exploring Berlin we could see him in the distance, watching us. My husband swore he heard banjos so we left. I have to say that this happened nine years ago. I can't imagine what there was about us that caused the ranger to follow us around, but I think its wise for visitors to be aware of their surroundings and the people you encounter. Other than the odd experience, I highly recommend Berlin and Icthyosaur Park. Bring plenty of food and water. The closest town is Gabbs.

This was awesome! My grandfather and dad worked for the Superior Coal Co. My dad went to high-school there and played football for the Superior Dragons. He quit school at 16 and went to work in the mine, where his dad was already working. That would have been around 1951. Thanks for the video! Brought back nice memories!

I visited Belmont NV in April 2024. The courthouse is an impressive structure. We visited in the morning, so the saloon wasn’t open yet. The town is still sparsely populated, so we didn’t venture much off of the main road, out of fear of mistakenly going down someone’s driveway. The town center was nice too with lots of historic vehicles and artifacts on display.

It's Pronounced Plass'er'ville by the locals. Thanks for the video, haven't been there for a decade or so and I'm stuck living in town these days, am supposed to be doing Honey Do's , but am wishing I was out in the woods, this gives me a taste to maybe make it through the rest of the week doing the 7-5 grind in construction.

Similar situation in Sims ND on the old Northern Pacific main line. The difference is- when coaling facilities were no longer needed, the section of track through the town was completely abandoned for a more direct route east to west. As far as I know, there is still an active church in the area, but all other homes, businesses, the school & everything else is in ruins.
