Arizona Ghost Towns of the Month

Old Glory is is about three miles southwest of Ruby. To reach the town from Ruby, take Ruby Road west to the California Gulch Road (FSR 217) Follow that road south until you pass a ranch and FSR 4191. FSR 4191 leads directly to the mill at Old Glory.

By following the road past the mill, you will come upon more ruins and eventually wind your way to the top of the Old Glory Mine. As always, exercise caution around mines.

These roads are quite rough and not for passenger cars. I would suggest two vehicles, as being stranded in this area would be most unpleasant.

The Oldglory post office was established on January 15, 1895 with William F. Ward as postmaster. The name was changed to Old Glory in 1909. Mail service was discontinued in 1911.

Estimates of the towns population stand around 50. The town's name does not appear in the 1900 census directly.
