Liberty grew after gold was found on Swauk Creek in 1873, with a school, hotel, post office and stores in the 1890s, and it was listed on the National Register in 1974. A dozen or so people still live in the 17-acre historic district, so it is sometimes called Washington's only living ghost town, and an old arrastra is demonstrated by a resident.
A short roadside walk; keep to public areas and respect residents' property.
