They are attracted by the well-preserved architecture and a variety of stories associated with the romantic place.
Oatman is a typical town of the Wild West, which was founded by gold diggers. When gold mines were depleted, the locals began to leave the town gradually. It went absolutely empty over time. The most interesting history about the town is associated with the names of famous movie stars, Clark Gable and Carole Lombard. They spent their wedding night in one of the hotels here. All fans of Gone with the Wind want to see this hotel and take a picture in front of it.
