Bodie Foundation "Protecting Bodie's Future by Preserving Its Past" Bodie, California Bodie, California is the largest and best preserved ghost town of the old west. Once called "the wildest camp in the west," Bodie was home to 10,000 people in its heyday. Today, the wind blows through the actual walls that listened in on tales of adventure, discovery and gold more than a century ago. The entire town, with about 200 structures, is preserved in a state of "arrested decay", just as it was found in 1962 by California State Parks. The Bodie Foundation is helping to ensure that Bodie is preserved for future generations. Bodie Regional Heritage Tours Guided by Terri Geissinger We are proud to introduce Bodie Regional Heritage tours! These tours are designed to educate, interpret and preserve the history that surrounds Bodie, Bridgeport, Aurora and the Mono basin. Each two day tour will travel to interesting historical sites such as Dogtown, Monoville, Aurora and, of course, Bodie. While in Bodie, visitors will receive a privileged tour of the town, stamp mill and cemetery. The tours will be in June and September.
