Why this spot

1887-1960s railroad junction town

Town founded in 1887 and moved in 1903 to the junction of the Soo Line and Great Northern, which by 1906 had general stores, banks, hotels, an opera house, a newspaper and a well-known brass band. The expected boom never came; it disincorporated before 1990 with three residents and has been empty since 2003.View source →
