Silver City, Idaho

Silver City is a ghost town in northwestern Owyhee County, Idaho, United States, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).

The first daily newspaper and telegraph office in Idaho Territory were established in Silver City.

Due in part to its extremely remote location, Silver City began a slow decline but was never completely abandoned.

It relies on the use of propane refrigerators and stoves in order to supply cold drinks and snacks or a complete meal to guests during the summer months.

The rooms are fitted with indoor plumbing and furnished with antiques, making it a tourist destination.
