People visit the ghost town of Bodie - 4K stock video

Bodie on a summer day in 2022. Bodie was a classic California boomtown, fueled by the gold rush of the 1850s. By the late 1800s, there were nearly 2,000 buildings and a population of about 5,000 to 7,000 people. Bodie now has less than 200 buildings remaining, but that's still enough to make it one of the largest ghost towns in the United States. The city is a California State Historic Park and also a National Historic Landmark, and it welcomes approximately 200,000 visitors each year.
