Phenix

The ghost town of Phenix, Missouri is located in Greene County in between Walnut Grove and Ash Grove. Phenix was a company town that existed for the sole purpose of mining marble and limestone from the adjacent quarry. It was unique in that the town had a library, an orchestra, movies, and a church with a full-time minister. Oddly enough, Bonnie Parker of Bonnie and Clyde fame also attended elementary school here for a time. Today, the quarry is still in use for crushed stone and a few of the old buildings still remain, but the town itself has ceased to exist.
