Missouri Trails To The Past

Ghost Towns in Missouri

Gay Parita, Paris Springs Junction, Missouri, 1930's.A ghost town is an abandoned village, town or city, usually one which contains substantial visible remains. A town often becomes a ghost town because the economic activity that supported it has failed, or due to natural or human-caused disasters such as floods, government actions, uncontrolled lawlessness, or war.

There are countless Ghost Towns in Missouri and the United States. This will be an on-going project that may never be able to be fully completed. There are many Ghost Towns in New Mexico that have been completely wiped from existence.
