Indiana Ghost Towns

Indiana’s ghost towns reflect the state’s complex industrial and agricultural history. Former natural gas boom towns that flared bright in the 1880s and burned out within a decade, canal towns left stranded when the railroads bypassed them, and small farming communities that could not survive rural depopulation all left their marks on the Indiana landscape. Hoosier ghost towns are found in every corner of the state, from the limestone country of the south to the flat prairie of the north.
