Carrizozo, New Mexico

White Oaks boomed after gold and coal were found in 1879, with the Old Abe Mine and a population of up to about 2,500, and declined after the railroad chose Carrizozo instead of a landowners' price dispute. Brown's Store, the 1895 schoolhouse, the Hoyle House and the Cedarvale cemetery survive, along with a small museum, a saloon and a pottery studio.
A few open businesses; the Hoyle House is private, so view it from outside.
