GHOST TOWN Helena California Abandoned 1850's Town

Published 2016-04-16
Helena California is a completely abandoned ghost town with many buildings remaining. The town started in the 1850's and lasted through the 1930's, with the post office lasting through the 1980's.

In the 1970's, one of the abandoned buildings was completely restored and used as a post office. I am not sure when it closed, but today the entire town is completely abandoned and frozen in time.

At one time it was literally the end of the road. This is where the highway ended and was end of the line.

The demise came when the highway was rerouted less than a quarter of a mile away.

Today only the abandoned homes and buildings remain. If you visit this old ghost town, you can see many abandoned buildings with original wallpaper, architecture, and even an old feeding stables.

The town reminded me a lot of the "Little House On The Prairie" TV show. Sadly the vandals have destroyed many of the original buildings.
