Description:The Silver City Ghost Town has over twenty historic buildings (most not visible from Lake Isabella Blvd) from the mining camps of Keyesville, Whiskey Flat, old Isabella, Claraville, Hot Springs, Miracle, Southfork and other local frontier settlements. It is now operated as a museum to the Kern Valley's long and colorful history. The Apalatea/Burlando House which is believed to be the oldest standing structure in the Valley houses a saloon and country store. Thousands of artifacts are on display throughout the property. Other buildings are outfitted as period miner’s cabins, post office, general store and the Chruch. Silver City Ghost Town is listed on dozens of film location scout websites as well as with The California Film Commission, The Los Angeles and The Kern County Film Commission. It has been the site of numerous film and video shoots since 1990 including use by Warner Chappell Music, A & E, The History Channel's This Week in History and a Nissan commercial. It has also been utilized for dozens of other still photo projects, independent film shoots and student films. Silver City has captured the essence and serenity of the best of the historic mining camps in the Kern Valley in a non-commercial museum like setting.
