Why this spot
1880s-2003 railroad farm town
Railroad town on the Chicago and North Western line that once had a town hall, two grain elevators, a depot, a bank, a hotel, churches and a newspaper; Grace Ingalls Dow, Laura Ingalls Wilder's sister, taught and lived here. It shrank after the railroad declined and was flattened by an F4 tornado in June 2003, then disincorporated in 2004.View source →
