Tubb Town

Wyoming's ghost towns were mostly Union Pacific coal camps, built by the railroad and unbuilt when diesel arrived.

Tubb Town, also known as Field City, is a ghost town in Weston County, Wyoming, United States. It was initially intended as a railroad town but quickly gained a reputation as a rough place to live, as saloons, brothels, and similar establishments became the main draw. Settled and abandoned within months during 1889, it is an early example of a boom and bust town in the Black Hills.

The on-the-ground condition of Tubb Town is unverified — it's listed here with unknown status. That could mean standing buildings, or an empty field. Go prepared for either, and consider sharing what you find so the record improves.

Nobody has confirmed the access situation, so treat any visit as reconnaissance: verify land ownership first, and be ready to admire from the road.

Here's the honest truth: access to Tubb Town is unverified. We couldn't confirm whether the site sits on public land, private property, or something in between — so verify land ownership and local rules before visiting, and respect private property at all times.

Ghost-town etiquette is simple: take only photographs. Removing artifacts is illegal on public lands and disrespectful everywhere else — and on federal land it can be a serious offense.
