What life’s really like in a ghost town deep in the California mountains | Bartell's Backroads

Forest City, California, once a bustling Gold Rush town in Sierra County, now has just four residents keeping its history alive. Longtime resident and historian Glenn Sundstrom has helped preserve the ghost town’s 1800s-era buildings by securing its designation as a Historic Landmark. Located deep within Tahoe National Forest, Forest City has no grocery stores, cell service, or postal services, yet remains open for visitors interested in California’s mining past.
