There are several fascinating ghost towns in New Mexico, each with a twisted tale to tell. However, Elizabethtown is one of my favorites. It burned brightly and briefly. These days it is peaceful, and quiet, hardly the raucous, hard scrapping town that existed in 1870. There isn’t much left in terms of structures or people, but, at one time, the town supported 7000 people. Miners extracted millions of dollars of gold and copper from the surrounding mountains and stream beds.
