Along our roads, buried in our fields, and hidden in the woods lie
the remnants of once important villages of Perry County’s past.
It is where our ancestors lived, loved, raised a family, earned a
living, worshiped, and finally were laid to rest – places of great
industrial enterprises, transportation centers, recreational areas
or perhaps just an area where extended families built homes and
farmed the land.
It was where tens of thousands passed through Perry County on their
way to their dreams of a better life or where thousands of young men
restored the natural beauty of our mountains.
Ghost Towns of Perry County is the story of some of these once
important places that now lie forgotten but an important part of our
heritage.
