With inhabitants
dating back some 10,000 years,
New Mexico's
story is rich with history, from the
Ancient Puebloan
Indians, to Spanish explorers, pioneers traveling
along the
Santa Fe
Trail, and prospectors in the 19th century. These many
folks left their "footprints," not only along the many old trails in
the "Land of Enchantment," but also on the many ruins and ghost towns that
remain.
From abandoned pueblos, to old mining camps, to deserted railroad and
ranching towns,
New Mexico is
left with hundreds of
ghost towns and historic sites to explore.
