Smithville

  • 06/21/2005

Smithville was a factory town founded by Hezekiah B. Smith in the 1860’s and lasted until the 1920’s. What makes this town stand out from any other is its “bicycle railroad” that was built in the 1880’s. It connected Smithville to Mt. Holly and allowed workers to go...

Washington

  • 02/20/2005

Yet another ghost town in the pines. The only remains I found were of a single foundation….the deepest I’ve come across yet. I’ve been told that this was the tavern, but I then found out this was the stables and not the tavern. The air was easily a...

  • 02/20/2005

I heard about this spot a few times but didn’t get around to it until I found out a geocache is hidden near it. Charles Wills lived for only 4 months (April-July 1839), yet his name would be remembered much longer than anyone else buried in this cemetery....

Trolley Valhalla

  • 12/20/2004

This was a cool place, but I feel the name is a bit misleading; sure there are trolley cars, but they’re outnumbered by freights, trucks, and buses. According to the story, a trolley museum was in the works but never came to be. So the trolleys have sat...

Friendship

  • 08/20/2004

We sort of just stumbled upon this one…while getting new pics of the Carranza Memorial, Annie told me this ghost town was nearby. I’ve heard about it quite a few times….some people even told me it’s the hardest ghost town to find in the Pines. I thought it...
