Town was once an important ferry route from east to west. A water feud between residents on the east and west side of the town was the beginning to the end for the town. Later when Rt. 66 bypassed the town a mile to the south, it pretty much spelled the end for the town. Today very little remains. Only a few homes and a church.

The town is not exactly 100% barren. There are still about five homes in the old part of town, but much of the town looks barren. There are steps to no where that were probably once to a church. An abandoned gas station that roof has fallen in on and the walls have fallen down on most of it. The old school is nothing but a shell of a building and is being used to store agriculture stuff in.

The downtown area is pretty much completely abandoned. The only usable building was the City Hall that is housed in an old bank. All the other downtown buildings are so dilapidated that they unusable. Several have been burned out and other have trees growing up through the foundations.
