In 1994, Allen Armstrong (shown here) and his wife, Stephanie, bought and began restoring the Castle Dome City ghost town, once the boomtown surrounding the Castle Dome mining district above several silver (and later lead) mines that thrived near Yuma, Arizona, from the late-19th into the mid-20th centuries.

The site, to which the Armstrongs moved several additional vintage buildings and reconstructed others, is now the centerpiece of the Castle Dome Mining Museum and Ghost Town, which introduces both the restored ghost town as well as the Hull Mine, where visitors can, under black light, see some of the phosphorescent minerals that led miners to veins of galena, a variety of lead ore.
