Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

To truly take a step back in time, make a visit to the ghost town of Buncom [BUN-kum] near the Southern Oregon town of Ruch [Roosh]. Visitors are greeted by three buildings that have stood the test of time. One of the buildings served as the post office for the community from 1896 to 1917. Another building was the miners? bunkhouse and the third building was the miners? cookhouse.
