PROPERTY: This auction is for 2 Lots in the Ghost town of Ruby City. Ruby is just 13 miles north of the town of Okanogan on Salmon Creek. Only a few lots in this old town remain as private ownership. Most of the lots and land surrounding these two lots are WA state land. This is a unique opportunity to own a piece of history and a great area to explore. History: In the late 1880s this silver and gold mining town known as Babylon of the west grew to over 700 residents. Once a chief mining center in Washington state and a main street bustling with Whiskey bars and store fronts is now a quiet forest with only several foundations remaining. More than 114 years have gone by but the famous mining camp has become little more than a legend. Explore! The property is easy to get to.
