Kingman, Arizona Route 66 gets a lot of attention here, but the Mohave Museum of History and Arts and nearby ghost town of Chloride are worth a visit. Medora, North Dakota This historic city is the gateway town to Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Summertime is best to tour the local historic sites and attend the ever-popular Medora Musical. Jerome, Arizona This former mountain mining community earned the nickname The Wickedest Town in the West during its heyday, when rich copper ore deposits attracted miners, merchants, madams and more to the Arizona Territory. Mesilla, New Mexico The heart of the picturesque village of Mesilla is much the same as it was 100 years ago. Thick-walled adobe buildings (which once protected residents against Apache attacks) now house art galleries, restaurants, museums and gift shops. Amador City, California Amador City’s oldest structure, built around 1855, is the centre portion of the Amador Hotel. Up Main Street is the stone Fleehart Building (now the Whitney Museum) that dates from the 1860s. The original mining-era buildings are now home to unique shops. Bisbee, Arizona Bisbee proved to be one of the richest mineral sites in the world, producing nearly three million ounces of gold and more than eight billion pounds of copper, not to mention the silver, lead and zinc that came from these rich lands. By the early 1900s, Bisbee had become the largest city in the Arizona territory. Keystone, South Dakota Keystone is a town with a split personality. Most visitors come to know New Keystone, which is a mile-long retail district stretched along US-16A – the main route to Mount Rushmore. But Old Keystone, or Old Town, is the original gold mining settlement along east-flowing Battle Creek. RV Lifestyle Kingsman Medora Mesilla Bisbee CSANews | FALL 2023 | 23
