Description

When composing this photo of the church door in Cottonwood, South Dakota, it was hard to decide what was level! It seemed everything was leaning one way or another. Cottonwood is still visited by many visitors these days, spurred on by listings of Cottonwood in ‘ghost town’ books and websites. However, it was clear that this wasn’t a totally deserted ‘ghost town’ (online sources list the population between 6 and 12 depending on where you read). It may not be a true ghost town, but you could probably imagine the stories and life of the past if you could stand inside that church building. Truly, “if these walls could talk!”. Cottonwood 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. 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.
