Ghost Town Of Lowell, Arizona: See Preserved Vintage Cars

Ghost towns are a peek into the past, a portal of sorts to another time. The ghost town of Lowell, Arizona, part of the town of Bisbee, is like a 1950s time capsule that has remained unchanged. And while ghost towns often have a creepy feel, Lowell is far more charming than it is frightening.

Once upon a time, Lowell was a copper mining town that was eventually incorporated into the town of Bisbee in the early 1900s. This was once a thriving part of Southern Arizona. Then with the expansion of the open-pit copper mine, many homes were lost and, therefore, residents moved out of town.

Because residents left the area, businesses started to struggle and eventually had to close for good. And, sadly, Lowell turned into a ghost town.

What remains of Lowell today can be found along Bisbee's Erie Street. Buildings and structures throughout this ghost town have been maintained by the volunteer-run Lowell Americana Project.

The Lowell Americana Project has recreated storefronts and added vintage cars along the street to give this ghost town an authentic 1950s feel.

Among the buildings you can see in town include an old Greyhound bus terminal complete with a bus on the street, vintage signs, a pharmacy, a movie theater...

...an old Shell station complete with gas pumps, a Harley Davidson repair shop, an old department store, and more. If you haven't yet visited the town of Lowell, it's worth seeing it in person!
