Burro Town | Ghost Towns and More | Episode 94 | Oatman, Arizona

Oatman is a historic former mining town in the Black Mountains that has become a lively and entertaining stop for travelers heading through northern Arizona. Known for its roaming wild burros that freely wander the streets and interact with visitors, the town blends Old West history with a quirky modern atmosphere. Once a gold mining boomtown, Oatman’s origins and name are tied to its early frontier story, which adds depth to its charm beyond its playful present-day character.
