Animus Forks is a ghost town located just northeast of Silverton, Colorodo. The site continues as a tourist attraction. A Colorado State Historical Fund grant to San Juan County, in cooperation with the Bureau of Land Management, provided for stabilization of the remaining structures in 1997 and 1998. The site is managed collaboratively by the Bureau of Land Management and San Juan County, which provide interpretive brochures and maps at an adjacent parking area. Although entry into the buildings is unrestricted, some of the flooring is reported to be fragile and subject to collapse. The area is home to dozens of mills, plenty of mines, and a handful of cabins. It is one of the better preserved ghost towns in the western US.
