    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    It's amazing how so many of these Ghost Town buildings are well manicured. Zero population yet the grass is cut nicely, amazing.
    Now on the inner cities where people still live on the block, there are abandoned homes with a lot of overgrown grass.

    Love your work. UA-cam gods blessed me with your recommendation and discovering your channel for the first time. From the UK but live in Thailand. There's just something epicly stupendously wonderful about the endless stretches of roads, plains and old towns that built America. Strangely fascinating to watch and imagine living in a town of only XX number of people with no bars, shops, restaurants, endless miles of road and beautiful countryside to the nearest Market/Supermarket/Town with amenities. Keep up your awesome work!

    Viewing this UA-cam 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.

      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.

    I’m from south Louisiana but I have lived overseas and been to many foreign countries but the most beautiful country is North America. In 1993 my family and I headed North. I fell in love with The Rocky Mountains. South Dakota was definitely a favorite. Wyoming as well. Glacier National Park was the goal but my stepdad became ill and we began having vehicle problems. So we turned around and headed back home to Louisiana.
