The Smoky Hill Museum will host this free presentation via Zoom on Thursday, October y, 5:30-6:30 p.m.
The buildings may have been reclaimed by wind and rain. The foundations may lie silent under wheat or corn. But if you listen, you might hear the hustle and bustle of yesterday’s towns. Join Daniel C. Fitzgerald, as turns back the years and introduces you to some of the ghost towns of Central Kansas. He’ll discuss beginnings, growth, people and abandonment, as well as the vital role these towns played in the history of Kansas. Some names may sound familiar while many others will be new. Fitzgerald is a Kansas native, now living in Florida. Specializing in regional history, he’s written numerous books about Kansas ghost towns.
