Castleton

The ghost town of Castleton is at the intersection of Mystic/Rochford Road and Castle Peak Road in Lawrence county. It is just southwest of the town of Mystic. Little remains of the original town, but there is a sign on the side of the road that explains the history and doom of this town. The town is near a couple of pretty ponds which are old dredge pools and a creek.
