Golden, Oregon, was a mining town in the 1890s near Coyote Creek in Josephine County, Oregon, about 3 miles off Route 5 (Wolf Creek Exit). During its time, it boasted 150 residents, two churches, a mercantile and post office, and, most notably, no saloons. Within about 20 years, the mine was dry, and today, Golden, Oregon, is a ghost town.
