KEEP BODIE STANDING

As one of the last real American ghost towns, Bodie hasn’t been restored or recreated. What visitors see today is exactly what was left behind when Bodie was abandoned almost a century ago. Homes, businesses, artifacts and entire streets remain frozen in time.

A National Historic Landmark and one of the most intact historic mining landscapes in the United States, Bodie covers over 1,000 acres (with another almost 4,000 proposed to be added in a recent National Historic Landmark update) and still includes more than 150 original historic buildings. Fires in the past destroyed much of the original town. What remains today is irreplaceable. State funding alone cannot keep pace with deterioration caused by extreme weather and age. Community support makes the difference between stabilization and permanent loss.
