Quaint old western style town on historic "Route 66" (That highway number is no longer used.) Very rustic buildings in the center of town.

The center or town on Main Street has many old west wooden businesses.

Some classify Oatman as a ghost town, but there's quite some activity here. Hang out a little and you might witness an authentic fake gunfight.
The main attraction are the "wild" burros, but they are experienced beggers, don't feed them bread though, makes them ill afterwards. The burros are the offspring of those that worked in the gold mines and were left to care for themselves as the mines closed.
Oatman Hotel: Clark Gable and Carol Lombard spent their honeymoon here after getting married in Kingman.
