SHERMAN

NAME: Sherman COUNTY: Albany ROADS: 2WD GRID: 1 CLIMATE: Always windy but not too cold, definite jacket weather BEST TIME TO VISIT: Anytime but winter

COMMENTS: It is within 100 yards of Ames Monument off I-80. Although there are no buildings still standing, the evidence points to an obvious town. The town was built in the 1860's at the highest point along the transcontinental railroad. The foundations to buildings are still there includin the 5 stall roundouse and the turntable. There lots of old cans and metal goods. Even though there are no more buldings, its a great place to go! REMAINS: No buildings, but lots of small things.

The town was a major stop for the transcontinetal railroad with it 5 stall roundhouse and turntabel. The grade for the railroad os still very evident. Submitted by: Wes I.
