Description
The aluminum-covered skeleton of an old grain elevator dominates the skyline as you slowly creep into Cottonwood, South Dakota. The population is somewhere between 6 and 12 depending on where you read but no one seemed to be about on the day we visited. It does seem like a ‘ghost town’, making you want to tiptoe around, if only to hear the stories of long-gone settlers whispered in the wind. It was once a thriving small plains town of 191 in 1930 with a post office, newspaper, bank, school, hotel, rodeo arena and an electric power plant. Not to mention train connections to pick up grain and deliver supplies. The Depression and Dust Bowl drove many off the land and the town never recovered. Today there are no businesses, the streets are unpaved, some of the buildings are faded and ramshackle. But visitors still arrive, spurred on by listings of Cottonwood in ‘ghost town’ books and websites.

What an amazing capture!! Such a beautiful grain elevator. I became fascinated with grain elevators when my family moved to the country when I was a child.
