The Moab area is dotted with numerous ghost towns - communities that came into existence due to mining, ranching, and transportation needs. The communities later depopulated due to changing economics, environment, and infrastructure. The Museum’s archives include a historic postcard that was delivered to the remote community of Miner’s Basin high in the La Sal Mountains in 1904 – join Museum staff to trace the postcard’s path through Grand County, while exploring the fascinating stories of several of the area's ghost towns.

Each Tuesday from mid-September through the end of October, Museum staff will be offering an in-gallery program on Grand County ghost towns that will last for half an hour. Grand County Ghost Towns features stories from the towns of Cisco, Dewey, Richardson, Castleton, and Miner's Basin.
