COMMENTS: This "town" is 4 miles east of Cyrus on Hwy 28. If you're coming from Cyrus, take a right on a dirt road and go 1/2 mile. the store is on your left.
REMAINS: All that's left are the remains of an old store. The front wall is gone, and the roof is caving in and half the floor is gone so you can see thru to the basement. It's cool to see if you live reasonably nearby, but I wouldn't travel across the state to see it.
This town existed from 1912 to 1954, and the top population reached 21 people. The town died when the railroad stopped delivering. Submitted by: Darcee
