Most of the ghost towns in eastern Washington have long since completely disappeared but, for a few, a building or two still stands. This old school house was in the town of Govan, in Lincoln County, and is oft photographed today.
Ever heard of the town of Mock? Rodna? Chesaw? Molson? Peach? Mold? Of Govan?
Thing is, people settled these towns for a reason. They lived and died there. There is a Pinterest page for Washington Ghost Towns and it states: "Many Washington towns began with a boom and ended with a crash due to radical shifts of economy, access or natural disaster."
YOUR ancestors and MINE lived in this long-ago towns...... what do you know about them?
