Situated at the base of the Superstition Mountains, the boomtown of Goldfield is located 4½ miles North of Apache Junction off of Mammoth Mine Road. With the discovery of mines in
1892, Goldfield became a booming community
boasting a population of 5 thousand people, 3 saloons, boarding houses, a
hotel and a general store. There were 50 working mines in the district. The
legendary Lost Dutchman Mine has never been rediscovered, but the
Superstition Mountains draw adventurers seeking lost gold as well as
recreational riches.
Today, Goldfield offers an interesting guided tour of a reconstructed section of the Old Mammoth Mine
and hosts several unique shops, a saloon, livery, a narrow
gauge railway and the Goldfield Museum.
