Chris, The building in Alva was a flour mill. Also the grain elevators you showed are still in operation. One of them used to be owned by my grandfather.
My grandparents lived in Gate Oklahoma. Seeing it featured on your video brought back many wonderful memories. I remember going to Avery's and Curtis' grocery stores with my Grandma when I was a little girl...
Love to see people document these little towns, they were the Wild West once Sorry to see people have to leave their home places for financial reasons these last 30 yrs and glad people in other parts of the country can see them because you explored them
I'm old enough to remember when these little towns were bustling with life. I even remember the trains with the wooden cars, the transition to steel cars was just beginning.
it s incredible the enormous amount of abandoned towns in Usa. I enjoy so much see the users who are dedicated to documenting him. Greetings from Bs As , Arg .-
My husband and I took a trip to Oklahoma in September to see Fort Sill in Lawton, where he was stationed when he was in the Army. Seeing this video made me want to take a side trip to Gate and he agreed. It took us 5 hours to drive up there from Lawton and we arrived around noon. Yes, luckily for us Laurie's Cafe was open for business, so we were able to get some lunch there. Several people stopped to get some take-out while we were there. Afterwards we checked out all the wonderful murals. I wish we could have found out who painted them and when they were painted. It was very hot that day and it was a long drive but well worth it. Thanks for the upload!
I grew up 7 miles east of Putnam, Oklahoma on the family farm. I attended the Putnam Schools from 1st through 4th grade. I still have the family farms and travel out there and through Putnam almost daily. The first building you showed was the lumber yard and general store.
Gage, with over 400 people, I would not consider a ghost town, though a lot of downtown does seem abandoned. A couple of interesting things about Gage >>> First, the National Weather Service still maintains a weather station here, which has been keeping area weather data for over one hundred years. Second, Gage has an Artesian Park, consisting of a spring-fed, artesian lake the size of five football fields. The Park, located just east of town, functions as a large outdoor swimming pool, with a water depth that ranges from 3 feet to 14 feet. At one time, the park was so popular that is supported a motel nearby. Nice video. There are several additional ghost towns, or ghost towns-in-the making, in western Oklahoma, that I am aware of.
I know Kenton, OK pretty well. My great grandfather, John Duncan, used to run the Kenton Mercantile. He passed away in the late '70's at the age of 103,. I also had a couple of my mother's aunts and uncles, that lived at each end of town.
Don't know how I missed this video when it came out. Many familiar places. Very well done. I'm sure you know, but rural towns lived by the railroads and schools. When trucking killed the minor rail lines and consolidation killed the local schools,.....
@@attrell Apparently the farm trade was not enough to keep them going. Of course, many unused rails were pulled during WW II for their steel to support the war effort. After the war, many of the elevators consolidated but were finally abandoned. There is a rail bed you can still follow on google starting a mile south of Keyes going east to Hooker.
I really enjoyed your video. I was born in Snyder, OK it's just a few miles from Cooperton, OK and Gotebo, OK. My family moved from Snyder in 1955, when we moved I was only 5 years old, we moved to Jones, OK. I remember when we would go visit family members we drove through both Cooperton and Gotebo. It's sad to see what the town's look like today. Thank you for sharing.
Love your video!! I grew up in western Oklahoma! I had to chuckle a little when you said town of Gotebo! I think you're the first person to say it correctly. Great job on the video❣
Big Country Bryant Reeves was from Ganz, OK with a population of about 70. He went on to be an All American center at Oklahoma State University and went to the NBA. He was as slow as these towns are. My Grandmother went to school in Retrop, OKlahoma. Many years later when I was about 19, she had all school reunion (maybe a few people attended) with a hay ride that I opted out of because it was in the middle of nowhere. My dad went with her. Not too long later when we drove through Retrop, the only thing that is there to indicate it once it existed was a very old windmill. It isn't even on the map anymore. Your videos remind me a lot of my life experiences growing up in OKC, OK and we would drive to remote locations just to see landmarks and scenery.
My favorite channel. Organized, no rambling, informative and fascinating. Sometimes the distant past makes me ponder that life is just a short journey.
I recommend trying the Mexican restaurant in Cherokee or "Ingersol" BBQ (on the Hwy from Cherokee and Alva) or if you're in Alva, Taco Village is a long time multi generational local eatery! And a Family Favorite for my wife and her mother!
Really cool video. My grandmother grew up in a dugout on the side of a cliff in rural western Oklahoma in the 1920's. I understand it was somewhere West of Watonga. I have been all through the West there. She ended up in Geary, Oklahoma and even seeing houses there collapsed and boarded up only to realize people still were living in them. It was like going to a different world since I am from Canada.
Addington looks like Shattuck, back in the Gage area of the video because of the windmill museum 😊 thanks for your content! Arnett, Oklahoma here… (the armpit of Oklahoma 😂)
I was in that town in 2013 when I was chasing a potential tornado. Had to turn around when I got to Canadian because the storm was moving too fast. I may have even took some photos in Arnett.
Great video. 😊😊Its always good to see other ghost towns history that can be related to Saskatchewan in some ways. 😊😊Thanks for sharing these moments Chris.👏👏
My father was born in avard went to school in Alva and graduated from nwosu in Alva. Two of my sisters and myself were born in Alva hospital which is now a museum. All three of my sisters graduated from nwosu. Our parents and one set of grandparents are buried in Alva.
In the 1960's and 1970' I worked for a company out of Lawton that sold wholesale tv repair parts and other related items. One of my customers was a man and lady named Forbes who sold assorted items and printed the local news paper. A very nice couple and I can't remember which building they were in but it was in the area of the tractor. Great memories.
If you haven't already. Be sure to make your way to Roosevelt, OK and Gotebo. The only thing keeping Roosevelt from dying is Parts World the junk yard. The only thing keeping Gotebo going is the grain elevator. You can find Cooperton between Mt View, Roosevelt and Gotebo. Good luck and safe travels. Oh, Dill City and Lone Wolf oklahoma are Ghosttowns as well.
I hope you go to the other end of Oklahoma when I was a youngster back in 1995 I was young man and we built the movie twister and a lot of the towns. I think it was Enid Oklahoma was one of the places we built I remember going in the back vacant town and putting fake store, friends and building fake homes over the pre-existing homes. The town was 95% deserted. It was right next to Kansas and I believe the story goes that a twister scared everybody out of town. I would love to get back there and see what the town looks like now.
Enid used to be a great place to raise a family in the 70s and 80s, I lived in 5 different small towns in Oklahoma . Some of the best times of my life and great people with simple times. Great video.
Spent time in Lawton and Altus as a kid - that was 45 years ago. Oklahoma then had the nicest people I've ever met. Hurts my eyes to see those towns falling apart.
Hello and I agree! I wish I had 2-3 more days on that trip. Will go back next year. I added Depew to my Route 66 abandoned video I uploaded today. I enjoyed that town.
What’s amazing to me is the number of unbroken windows in these places. Shows there is still some respect, thank goodness...Research the history, the collapse of the homeowner farms began under the Regan Administration when the corporate owned farm was said to be much more efficient, Regan applauded this.
Glad you put this om I can see what I can no longer travel to. From a small town and I know all to well how so many places get Abaddon, glad I could se, sad that they have lost their [people. If I had the money and the health I would try to bring life back to one of tham
I love all of your videos. Yet I have learned alot from your videos and others.One thing I do on my channel is Ghost towns, here in Ga. and SC. I believe that once the heart of a town,aka business district dies. The town is dead no matter what the cause of the town dying. It is people that make a town not just its business. Once unity is gone and the soul of the town is gone it is dead. Shalom my friend.
I live about 45 minutes west of Tulsa, so pretty much the northeast of the state. There is a town in south-west creek county, called Depew, and most of the businesses are gone. But some person, group, organization idk, came and painted the windows of the abandoned buildings downtown, so it looks like there still open.
For me it's so sad. Where are the Generation of these people who built all these things, towns and cities? Are they all dead or did they vanish? There should be a cause thanks for your updates
Thanks for escepting my comment. I feel sad because my late father had a farm planted with Rubber, Coffee and Coco ect. In LIBERIA, West Africa but the generation continue to keep it warm thanks again 👍💯🙏
Thank you for showing Addington Oklahoma I've driven by The cow Creek company for the last 18 years but can't remember what highway it's on I think it's highway 281?
Avard, Okla. two railroads, former Frisco/BN& Former Santa Fe, now both belong to the BNSF, the Frisco ends there, but heads back East through Hopeton, Dacoma,Carmen, McWillie,Helena,Goltry,Carrier & then Enid, continuing on to Tulsa, Springfield,Mo. former Santa Fe runs East West, it's called the Transcon, LA to Chicago.
Rumor has it the old high school gym/roller skating rink in Avard, Oklahoma is haunted!! There is supposedly a portal to the other side!! Vina Rae’s grill and graze restaurant was there!! Lots of paranormal activity went on there!!
I would suspect that the abandoned large building next to the railroad tracks in Alva would have been a flour mill as it is connected to the grain elevators.
My great grandma who is 94 or 95 was born and raised in Gate Oklahoma. She told me her dad owned a drug store as in the general store back then. And that it caught on fire. That’s all I remember. So interesting
What you called the professional building in Aline was actually the International Order of Odd Fellows building. It has since been demolished to make room for an infrastructure project. Current population is 202.
I live in this area. While the area and people are charming it does come with it's own challenges. Declining populations, increasing commutes for work, lack of employment opportunities, good luck finding groceries locally in many of these small towns. With the increasing encroachment of businesses like Dollar general and Walmart pricing out local business and then even those closing, goods and services are in short supply.
At the 8min mark that White House captured is my great grandfather’s house. The half on the right if you notice is an old train caboose car, that was his bedroom. It has been tore down sense this video not much remains in may Oklahoma my grand parents live there,my grand mother was the post master there till the post office shut down, they lived there pretty much all their life
Even though I'm from Russia, I really like your videos. It's always sad to see abandoned places where people lived.
Hey there from America
Greetings from America. And yes, decay places can be both interesting & also bittersweet.
So am and do I
Since life usually has such a desire to exist in spite of the world being in our opposition, its off putting to see when things failed.
Chris, The building in Alva was a flour mill. Also the grain elevators you showed are still in operation. One of them used to be owned by my grandfather.
Thank you!!
My grandparents lived in Gate Oklahoma. Seeing it featured on your video brought back many wonderful memories. I remember going to Avery's and Curtis' grocery stores with my Grandma when I was a little girl...
Glad you enjoyed it
Bro my great grandparents lived there too. That’s crazy. Now they’re in the panhandle of Oklahoma
Love to see people document these little towns, they were the Wild West once
Sorry to see people have to leave their home places for financial reasons these last 30 yrs and glad people in other parts of the country can see them because you explored them
You did a nice job showing these dwindling little OK towns. I enjoy seeing them & what you're doing here.
I'm old enough to remember when these little towns were bustling with life.
I even remember the trains with the wooden cars, the transition to steel cars was just beginning.
Me too
I loved this tour - it was so fascinating!
Thank you!
it s incredible the enormous amount of abandoned towns in Usa. I enjoy so much see the users who are dedicated to documenting him. Greetings from Bs As , Arg .-

@@attrell what is the name of the mayor of the town Gotebo OK in the thumbnail with the Massey Ferguson tractor sitting abandoned on the street ?
My husband and I took a trip to Oklahoma in September to see Fort Sill in Lawton, where he was stationed when he was in the Army. Seeing this video made me want to take a side trip to Gate and he agreed. It took us 5 hours to drive up there from Lawton and we arrived around noon. Yes, luckily for us Laurie's Cafe was open for business, so we were able to get some lunch there. Several people stopped to get some take-out while we were there. Afterwards we checked out all the wonderful murals. I wish we could have found out who painted them and when they were painted. It was very hot that day and it was a long drive but well worth it. Thanks for the upload!
Thanks for watching!
I live in Lawton, just south of Ft. Sill! 😊 Need to take a walk to a couple of these! 😮

A couple of interesting things about Gage >>> First, the National Weather Service still maintains a weather station here, which has been keeping area weather data for over one hundred years. Second, Gage has an Artesian Park, consisting of a spring-fed, artesian lake the size of five football fields. The Park, located just east of town, functions as a large outdoor swimming pool, with a water depth that ranges from 3 feet to 14 feet. At one time, the park was so popular that is supported a motel nearby. Nice video. There are several additional ghost towns, or ghost towns-in-the making, in western Oklahoma, that I am aware of.
Thanks for sharing! I am eager to visit again, I really enjoyed the area. I'll check out that park next visit.
Do you know any Clark's there?
I remember growing up in Tulsa the local TV station would always list the temperature for Gage.
Fund comptrollers, need their ear to the ground and maybe they can come up with necessary people/ funding / labor to get things done. Hope
I know Kenton, OK pretty well. My great grandfather, John Duncan, used to run the Kenton Mercantile. He passed away in the late '70's at the age of 103,. I also had a couple of my mother's aunts and uncles, that lived at each end of town.

Must be amazing stuff over there!

Used to drive through Snyder on my way to Mangum where my ex was from. Very ghost like towns down there. Sayre is another one...
Chris, beautiful decay, good stuff man, yet, sad!
Thanks!
Love your video!! I grew up in western Oklahoma! I had to chuckle a little when you said town of Gotebo! I think you're the first person to say it correctly. Great job on the video❣
Oh good! I am thrilled you like the video! Thanks!
Our Family Farm still exists outside of Gotebo
I live in Lawton so, I am going to have to take a walk to a few of these! 😅 Thank you for sharing your exploration!
THanks for watching!
As a native Oklahoman, it’s really really cool seeing this. I hope I can find the time to visit these amazing places
Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the message. I remember that guy, he played for Vancouver. Western Canada briefly had an NBA team, then it was gone.
The memories made in all of these towns and buildings is something we think about as we travel. So much life was lived before everyone left.
Seeing old towns like this is why I take my road trips...Great job!
Thank yhou!
Love these old buildings from the past wish they could be restored some good memories of people who once were there
My favorite channel. Organized, no rambling, informative and fascinating. Sometimes the distant past makes me ponder that life is just a short journey.
Wow, thank you!
Laurie's Cafe is the best place for sweet tea and her food is delicious. My favorite stop when road tripping that way
Picher, Oklahoma is a ghost town as well. Both of my parents were born and raised there, and I spent some of my childhood there.
I drove thru that town, so sad. Out of respect for the residents who remain, I didn't include that. I feel just awful what happened.
Little mayor looks great 😊
I think so too!
Hahaha, that same cat in Kenton is in my most recent video. She gave me a tour!
Too funny!!
I recommend trying the Mexican restaurant in Cherokee or "Ingersol" BBQ (on the Hwy from Cherokee and Alva) or if you're in Alva, Taco Village is a long time multi generational local eatery! And a Family Favorite for my wife and her mother!
Thanks for the tips! Next time I a there I will!
Been thru some of these towns in my previous job.
Great HD and camera work. The colors really stand out.
Thank you!
Great video/material/history.....Enjoyed; THANK U.....
Thank you too!
I love seeing places like this. Hope one day i can travel to so many of them. Just imagine the old life they had in them

I'll never get there, so thank you for the tour, it is captivating!!

The "factory" in Alva was Roller Mills milling company. It was considered an architectural masterpiece when it was built.
Oh thank you!
Sayre resident, gonna have to check some of these out! 👋
Hey thank you! I really enjoyed Sayre!
@ I don’t 🤣
Nice job Chris.

You could get many more ghost towns in Okla. Ive been to many. We are moving to the town of Depew soon. Pop. 400.

thanks for the video. Makes me want to go there.
I grew up in Aline the garage was my uncles it served as a garage for the town
Thanks for all that info! Great town, I am glad I checked it out. ALmost missed it because it was so foggy I missed the turn off from the highway.
Nice winter weather for the most part of the trip
Yes it was!
What’s amazing to me is the number of unbroken windows in these places.

Very interesting and enjoyable walk thru old time OK. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Great vid.
Thank you so much!
It looks pretty ok shape after such a long time. Ether weather is not that harsh or build quality is great. I guess the second most likely.
It's an old flower mill. Critic mills used to have them. There's another bldg. ,same design in Beardstown il.
Yes, it had a motel. It was only open on prom night though.

I feel sad because my late father had a farm planted with Rubber, Coffee and Coco ect. In LIBERIA, West Africa but the generation continue to keep it warm thanks again 👍💯🙏
Corporate farms killed off the small farms, so the towns died.
Neoliberalism
Thank you for showing Addington Oklahoma I've driven by The cow Creek company for the last 18 years but can't remember what highway it's on I think it's highway 281?
How about doing this same thing in north central Oklahoma? Around Medford, Wakita, Deer Creek, Lamint.
Yes! I am eager to go! Thanks.
Love those old towns have you ever watched Joe n nics road trip
I think I saw a video from them about texas towns
I like the way he tells you the history what it was what it is n
Now housing prices and what it's like to live there
And the ioof building was on the end where we had Eastern
Avard, Okla. two railroads, former Frisco/BN& Former Santa Fe, now both belong to the BNSF, the Frisco ends there, but heads back East through Hopeton, Dacoma,Carmen, McWillie,Helena,Goltry,Carrier & then Enid, continuing on to Tulsa, Springfield,Mo. former Santa Fe runs East West, it's called the Transcon, LA to Chicago.
When was this filmed? Really enjoyed it!
This month! Thank you!
OMG!!! Crying room? They need to bring that back. Also, make them for planes too! Amazing... 👶👶👶👶👶
Rumor has it the old high school gym/roller skating rink in Avard, Oklahoma is haunted!! There is supposedly a portal to the other side!! Vina Rae’s grill and graze restaurant was there!! Lots of paranormal activity went on there!!
I got to check that out!
Thank you!
Thank you!
Hi oklahoma resident here
This is just north tulsa
You gotta go south of admiral to see the nice houses
I'll do that!
I would suspect that the abandoned large building next to the railroad tracks in Alva would have been a flour mill as it is connected to the grain elevators.
Thank you!
The dust bowel of the 1930's took a toll on that area. Most of the original inhabitants are still nearby ... at the cemetery.
My great grandma who is 94 or 95 was born and raised in Gate Oklahoma. She told me her dad owned a drug store as in the general store back then. And that it caught on fire. That’s all I remember. So interesting
What you called the professional building in Aline was actually the International Order of Odd Fellows building. It has since been demolished to make room for an infrastructure project. Current population is 202.
Thank you. I am glad I got to see it before it was demolished!
@attrell All the names of the Aline servicemen from WW1 forward were on the side of the building. They were recorded prior to the demo.
That used to be goodno grocery store the section to the to the north used to be the post office until I moved across the street
I'm from Cyril, Oklahoma.. We have around 2,000 Residents.. Great video man, where are you from?
with that fog, putman ok looks like something out of a silent hill game
I live in this area. While the area and people are charming it does come with it's own challenges.

Wow I’m going to Addington first! You should have shown those signs at 25:00. Sounds like an amazing place!!! Love that it’s politically incorrect!!!!
Thanks for watching!
Takes me back to Lawton in the 1970s😊
Should do Hastings, OK , used to have college
THanks! I added to my list.
6:27 😊😊 it makes me I am watching lee van cleef movie
If I was ultra wealthy (and maybe had several lifetimes) I'd consider moving to one of these places and just revitalize it like crazy.
That would be fun to do!
