Interesting little historical website

[slow_walker]

Found a website that has information about lost, forgotten, or just really small towns in Stone County. There's some pretty interesting facts in there. Not an extensive amount of information, just a few sentences for each little town that's kinda fun to learn.

Check out the listing for Marmaros - I had never heard of it before but I go there all the time. In fact, I am going there tomorrow.

That is a pretty interesting site, thanks for sharing. Just wish I lived in that part of the state so I could do some weekend exploring.

That's actually only part of a whole book that Mr. Moser did. Here is the link to navigate the whole book of all counties of Missouri: Moser's Directory to Places in Missouri

It is absolutely amazing to me how quickly a town or a building, even foundations, can disappear. Of course, a lot of old foundations were cut limestone, and those blocks would be recycled. But I know several old farm locations and can remember when it was apparent there had been a building there. Now not a trace remains, and that's only over the course of 30 years.

Thanks Willard, I am so happy you are such a geek. (I mean that in the best possible way )

I know what you mean. Of course my obersvation only covers about 20 years.
