It's amazing that some of these abandoned towns are so well cared for, with the grass being trimmed even around buildings. I really appreciate your respect for No Trespassing signs, because I've seen a number of people on youtube who don't. Watching from BC, originally from Saskatchewan. Thanks, Chris!

The grass is taken for the farm animals. that is why is trimmed. It is cheap food for cattle, dried and and stored appropriate.

This was a wonderful video. We're from Miles City, MT but now live in Wyoming. My Mom was born in Mose, ND which has long been a true ghost-town. It's known as "The Town That Blew Away" as a tornado devastated the place many years ago. I last visited about 30-years ago, and all that remained were a few foundations and the church steeple laying in a field. My siblings and I actually retain title to several lots located on the site. We were contacted recently about possibly selling. I don't think we'll become millionaires but it may be worth a few bucks. Keep up the great work!

Temple: 04:52 only became a ghost town in 2015 when the two people, who lived and worked there for the state (rangers) retired and moved away a few months later. They informed the state 2 years before in 2013 that they would leave the town after their retirement and that they were the last inhabitants of Temple. A few months after they had left the county discontinued the power supply of Temple and officially dissolved the town and incorporated the area in the also fast shrinking town of "Golden Valley". Golden Valley has about 200 people.

I was watching this from Cochrane, Ab. I would really like to explore North Dakota at some point. My Grandfathers Family immigrated to Harvey, ND in 1903 before moving to Alberta in 1905. Would be interesting to see where they lived once first coming to North America from Norway. Looks like lots of interesting spots to check out down there. Thanks for sharing a few of them.

Canada is easy for hiring, a lot of jobs you walk in and can start tomorrow unlike europe where you'll apply for a job that starts on a 1st of a month in 3 months type thing.

I'm watching from Northern Allegheny mountains in Pennsylvania, I've never been out west, it's on my bucket list for sure, thank you for showing us these,beautiful little towns, I find it so interesting that even at a peak population of 150, they had the need for Banks and such however I guess it was a large rural population also and the railroads etc. a totally different way of life, I live in a rural area where 3000 or less is considered small not 300 or less

My dad was born in North Dakota in 1924 and lived there until the start of World War II. He would have loved these videos. In addition to being a university administrator he was a musician of some renown and played music jobs in many of these towns back when they were in their prime. Weddings, dances, funerals the list was endless. He did over 6,000 of them. We used to drive around on the weekends and he would point out all of these towns and make a comment such as "Iplayed a job there." He loved coming back to North Dakota his entire life, us kids not so much. I was born in North Dakota but grew up in Montana, so that was my state. Funny how that works.

Nice video! If I'm remembering right, Bethel church was still being served for occasional services through the 1980's and possibly into the 1990's by the pastor of Zion Lutheran Brethren in Maddock.

Please don't ever change a thing. Honestly one of the best parts is hearing the gravel crunching under your shoes. Makes it feel like I'm walking right along side. Like the fact you are expanding your travels. Small towns don't necessarily have to be abended to be interesting. Although I understand the theme of your travels. More content the better as far as I'm concerned. Is that where you got the bug to travel and do this from your Dad because of the way he was and working obligations? Like to know more about that time. Why would the wife get mad about flying your drone into that church? Was it a present from her? Keep up the good work. Always to long between episodes. 😀

Viewing this KZbin video of "Abandoned Towns and Places" on this date: 8-26-2024. My residence is in Atlanta, Georgia for over 45 years of my 74 years. I find the Dakotas are quite interesting in that not many people live there yet, the landscape and its old buildings are fantastic to take a "vacation tour" of these sites. I would imagen there are certain months one would avoid due to weather. These sites are paint artists great locations to capture the history of the past.

@@chrismcgill America as a whole has a very low population density mate, my English county (Hertfordshire) is only 634 square miles and has a little over 1.2 million permanent residents and yet while that's the second largest shire county population in England it is still regarded as a largely rural county. The whole of England itself is about 10% smaller than NYS with around 3 times the population, for context.
