MATFIELD GREEN

NAME: Matfield Green
COUNTY: Chase
ROADS: 2WD
GRID: 1
CLIMATE: Mild most of the year, very hot summers
BEST TIME TO VISIT: Most of the year; might want to avoid July and Aug
COMMENTS: Matfield Green is just south of Bazaar, another town on this list. It's located about 4 miles north of the turnpike at Cassoday. Picturesque, with an intriguing history (see "Prairie Erth(sic)" for a good one).
REMAINS: Several houses, old school, old church, tavern, cemetery
The town began as a cattle/ranching area, but declined after the railroad decided to not build a depot in town. Submitted by: Jennifer Holtz
