Gold was discovered in the area in 1863 by Henry Wickenburg. The Vulture mine was considered one of the richest of its time, and an 80-stamp mill was built. It wasn’t long before the community grew to around 5,000. The Post Office opened in 1880 closing in 1897.
The mine was in production from 1863 until 1942 producing 340,000 ounces of gold and 260,000 ounces of silver. Like so many mines, it closed because of the war efforts, and soon the town became abandoned.
Today's property is under new ownership and lovingly restored to its original stature. Visitors can explore the ghost town, complete with hundreds of artefacts.
Ghost adventures have investigated and voices, shadows, noises and other paranormal activities have been caught on camera.
Currently, Vulture City is open daily for a fee of $15 per person, and more information is on their website. www.VultureCityTours

I've been to Vulture City several times. The first time (many years ago) it was all original and just how it had been for years. Since that first visit it's gotten more 'developed' with each visit. Now, it's gotten to be more of a Knott's Berry Farm type of place. And, while it's still fun and interesting, I liked it much better in the past. When you would basically pay a few bucks, sign kind of a waiver in case you did something stupid and got hurt and then you could wander around anywhere and take pictures.

I've seen one of those drills down in what was Death Valley National Monument back in 1979 at the July 4th celebration at the Furnace Creek Ranch. The Borax miners were still there, and showed an exhibition of their drilling skills. It was a memorable day. It's now a National Park, so since 1994, they've not had Borax mining since then. I used to love watching Death Valley Days back in the 1960's, but I never dreamed I would live there. I've lived there twice, once in 1979 and again in 1981. I love your vlogs!

A thought and a suggestion: Frank at "Exploring Abandoned Mines" did a video of the Vulture City mine a couple of years ago. It is vast and complex! This was the highest producing gold mine in the history of Arizona. My suggestion is a very, very cool but virtually unknown mining attraction located around 30 miles from Vulture City. From Vulture City, head North on Vulture Mine Road for a couple of miles until you reach US 60, where you turn left [West]. From the intersection of Vulture Mine Road, follow US 60 for 21.5 miles to State Highway 71, where you turn right [North]. Follow State 71 North for around 3.7 miles until you see the sign for Robson's Mining World on the left side of the Highway. You have to watch for the sign, it's set back from the Highway. Turn Left [North] and follow the dirt road 1.7 miles to Robson's Mining World. A low clearance passenger car can make it if you drive carefully. This place is worth seeing. Old man Robson collected mining artifacts for 40 years. He moved whole buildings from mining camps all over Arizona, not to mention every kind of equipment you can imagine.

I was there many years ago before the current ownership. Stayed in Wickenburg. The drive out was very desolate just like the 19th century. May not have been anyone there, no charge. There was a small rock shop at the entrance, maybe on the honor system. Nothing was restored. Some of the old wood shop buildings were just piles of wood. The most oustanding building was a very large rock power house containing the largest diesel electric generators I have ever seen. They were the size of locomotives. The walls were leaning. They must have been 500 to 1000 kilowat units so plenty of electricity with a large fuel consumption. Ingersol Rand I believe, like submarine engines. There was a modern operation running leach fields on the tailings. Two shafts, the incline and at the back a verticle with a large headframe. I am thinking the moderns have torn it down which sucks. I pestered Frank and Gly to go there which I think they did. Also wanted them to go to the desert bar which they did;nt, now closed. This site should receive state or federal protection. The moderns have already done enough damage. That power house apparently torn down and the machines were museum quality and simply amazing. This place as restored should be a State Park. It was in the middle of nowhere with few visitors and little security. Largest gold producer in AZ.

Wow, thank you for the compliment. We strive to improve with each explore, trying new editing techniques and sounds. Still have a long way to go and a lot to learn. Vulture City is one of the best ghost towns we have explored. and Roger is correct, the owners have renovated it all themselves.

15:15 As far as I know, in a mining atmosphere a skip car carries ore up a steep incline on wooden boards without wheels like a skid and the incline is usually very steep to the point of almost being vertical. Where as a regular ore cart has wheels and will carry ore on a set of metal tracks with much less of an incline or even flat and mostly level. Most mining levels are at a very slight incline to the face of the mine. This allows for easier travel going somewhat down hill towards the adit to make it easier for hauling heavy loads out of the the mine. This is just the way I understand it. Very well done video tour guys.

I think this incline is around 45 degrees, not as steep as some. They can walk down maybe holding on to a rope. Frank and Gly went down. Maybe even electric lights in part of the mine.

@@rogersmith7396 Yep. Most incline shafts are much like this one. But when they are inside the mine going from one level to another they are called Decline shafts. That is mostly where the Skip Carts were used.

Andrea and Steve, What a fun site, so much work to fix it up and allow people to have a hands on experience. Entry fee is so cheap for what's there 15$ per person, amazing. I would really like to know about the people who restored it, they deserve a lot of credit and recognition!!! Cheers, Rik

This tour was absolutely fascinating. Some people would watch it and say, "Now I don't need to go there, because I've seen it all". But in my case, it has gone on my list of places to visit. This is my kind of thing. Great introduction to your channel.
