Calico ghost town weather7/11/2023 ![]() Today, Calico is part of the San Bernardino County Regional Parks system, which is visited by people from across the country and from all over the world. Calico received State Historical Landmark 782 and in 2005 was proclaimed by then Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to be California’s Silver Rush Ghost Town. Walter Knott purchased Calico in the 1950’s architecturally restoring all but the five original buildings to look as they did in the 1880’s. The town that once gave miners a good living lost its hustle and became a “ghost town.” Calico is an old West mining town that has been around since 1881 and was abandoned in the mid-1890s after silver lost its value.
