Tucked into the western slopes of the Shoshone Range, Berlin is one of Nevada’s most remarkably preserved ghost towns, now part of Berlin-Ichthyosaur State Park. Founded in 1897 during the state’s mining boom, the town once supported 250–300 people and featured a 30-stamp mill, boardinghouse, assay office, and other mining facilities, arranged in a U-shaped layout that looks much today as it did then. You can wander restored and stabilized buildings like the mill, the machine shop, and the supervisor’s house, stand inside the assay office, and imagine daily life in a remote turn-of-the-century mining camp.
