Built on the site of 1800s gold and silver mining camps, Randsburg is a strange anomaly: a living ghost town. •• The current population is around 60-70 people. Yet most buildings are not in use and retain their old-timey appearance. •• However, #Randsburg has done something unique with its ghost town vibe. It uses the old buildings as attractions for photographers and road trippers in order to keep the rest of the town alive. People passing through to admire the old parts of the town spend money at the functioning businesses, keeping some residents employed. . . . . .
