Description

A detour through these rural locales reveals stories of a changing world and devastating acts of nature. Depopulated or forgotten, many have fallen into disrepair. Others still have remnants and artifacts as proof of their former heydays. Some maintain a sparse population with a firm hold on their heritage. This talk will cover Missouri’s ghost towns and examine some of the most curious ghost towns in other states.
