Why this spot
1872-1930s farming and rail town
Black Forest farm town that moved to the Denver and New Orleans line in 1883 and grew to 350 to 500 people with three churches, three hotels, a newspaper and a race track, calling itself the potato capital of the world. It died after a flood washed out the railroad, and the post office closed in 1932.View source →
