It's amazing that some of these abandoned towns are so well cared for, with the grass being trimmed even around buildings. I really appreciate your respect for No Trespassing signs, because I've seen a number of people on youtube who don't. Watching from BC, originally from Saskatchewan. Thanks, Chris!
Temple: 04:52 only became a ghost town in 2015 when the two people, who lived and worked there for the state (rangers) retired and moved away a few months later. They informed the state 2 years before in 2013 that they would leave the town after their retirement and that they were the last inhabitants of Temple. A few months after they had left the county discontinued the power supply of Temple and officially dissolved the town and incorporated the area in the also fast shrinking town of "Golden Valley". Golden Valley has about 200 people.
This was a wonderful video. We're from Miles City, MT but now live in Wyoming. My Mom was born in Mose, ND which has long been a true ghost-town. It's known as "The Town That Blew Away" as a tornado devastated the place many years ago. I last visited about 30-years ago, and all that remained were a few foundations and the church steeple laying in a field. My siblings and I actually retain title to several lots located on the site. We were contacted recently about possibly selling. I don't think we'll become millionaires but it may be worth a few bucks. Keep up the great work!
I just moved to Williston the same time you posted this video from Springfield, Illinois. It's crazy how much of these old abandoned towns are around me. Thank you for showing this
I was watching this from Cochrane, Ab. I would really like to explore North Dakota at some point. My Grandfathers Family immigrated to Harvey, ND in 1903 before moving to Alberta in 1905. Would be interesting to see where they lived once first coming to North America from Norway. Looks like lots of interesting spots to check out down there. Thanks for sharing a few of them.
Can you imagine going into some of these old abandoned places with a weed wacker and rebuilding and restoring them, then living peacefully and quietly away from the crazy? lol! My dad was from Kulm ND. Visited the old farmstead in the 80s and felt the ghosts of the way things were way back when. Thank you Chris for the tour! ❤
A Weed Wacker and lots of bucks. Start with that second big building on the west side of the street in Marmoth, a gem.I've passed through some of those places. North Dakota is a haunting place.
Loved this video! Born and raised in North Dakota and I think I only know one of those town names! I am in Mound, MN now. This makes me homesick! The wide open spaces!!
I'm watching from Ohio in the U.S. I've never been to either North or South Dakota. I loved this tour, so many interesting places, and so much beauty along the way. Thanks for sharing!
Also, Ohio here. I once landed in Sioux Falls, S.D. when rhe Omaha, NE, airport closed and we were running low on fuel. I have a high school classmate living in western N. Dakota. He's been there a few decades.
I'm watching from Poland, I probably won't be able to see with my own eyes what you show... although in August 2025 I will be in the USA, but closer to New York. Thank you for what I see. Greetings from Poland, Jarek
i live in Hawaii, so seeing how vast and empty the mainland its really peaceful. everything is pretty cramped here so it must be nice to have room to stretch your arms out with all that open space.
When I drove across The Big Island, through pineapple and coffee plantations, I felt there was a lot of quiet wide-open space there. I believe that is rather different from the other Hawaiian islands.
@fabrikk60 as a tourist yeah I can see why you'd think that that but when you live here, you're constantly reminded that your surrounded by water. It doesn't compare to what's in the vid.
Watching from Ukraine. A lot of people don't understand how can abandoned places be beautiful? But they have some special aesthetics. I like to watch your videos late in the evening with cup of strong black tea or even bottle of nice beer, when everyone in the flat already sleeping and it is absolutely quiet outside.
Watching from Tasmania We have a few abandoned towns but nothing like those amazing churchs have not been to Canada or USA love watching your videos thanks for Sharing with us places and buildings that would have gone unnoticed and forgotten and love the extra info beside the town and history
Following you from Montréal. Love the desolation and peacefulness of the prairies and Great Plains. Travelled extensively throughout Canada, but have not yet been to Saskatchewan. I’ll move it to the top of my road trip bucket list. Salut!
As an old pastor of a small country church nearing his final days it’s heart-warming seeing someone comes and mows the grounds of these long abandoned churches.
Viewer from Oslo, Norway 🇳🇴 here. I lived in Tennessee in the 1980s, used to travel in the back country to explore the southern states to see and explore the true country. I never got to cross the Mississippi River to see the mid and western states. I made it through 22 states in the midsouth-north west and east parts. Love your videos
Yantabulla, north west of Bourke has a few derelict houses, an abandoned workshop and a still used hall and I think an RFS station. It's pretty remote though.
Thoroughly enjoyed your Video! You are a fantastic narrator. And so many beautiful abandoned buildings. Ahhhh! If only we could go back in time. I am from England, now living in Washington State.
Watching from Concordia, Kansas. Dying little towns , like these, can be found all over the Great Plains. Explored dozens myself. Friendly folks; always fascinating. Mom was from Odin, Kansas----home of free roaming peacocks.
I love watching your videos from anchorage alaska as i grew up on a wheat farm near great falls montana. I did not appreciate the beautiful and peaceful open spaces until neighbors. Thank you 😊😊😊😊
I'm watching from India. Love your videos , especially the way you narrate. I like watching small towns surrounded by nature far away from hustle and bustle.
My grandparents were founding members of the Immanuel Lutheran (30:20) congregation; Grandpa was one of the men who built the church in 1923. The congregation was disbanded in 1945.
Half of my family was from Groningen and the other half from down south. I always forget the name. They came to the south Chicago area between 1890s-1910s. Tom TenHove
The desolation of these places possess a stark beauty all their own. I now note your other videos and intend to watch those as well. Well done and thank you, Chris.
Love your work. TH-cam gods blessed me with your recommendation and discovering your channel for the first time. From the UK but live in Thailand. There's just something epicly stupendously wonderful about the endless stretches of roads, plains and old towns that built America. Strangely fascinating to watch and imagine living in a town of only XX number of people with no bars, shops, restaurants, endless miles of road and beautiful countryside to the nearest Market/Supermarket/Town with amenities. Keep up your awesome work!
It's amazing how so many of these Ghost Town buildings are well manicured. Zero population yet the grass is cut nicely, amazing. Now on the inner cities where people still live on the block, there are abandoned homes with a lot of overgrown grass.
That’s the pride of North Dakota for you. It really is the best state in the nation. Shhh don’t tell anyone, we like it quiet and peaceful around here.
The brick fireplace was a barbecue and oven for outdoor cooking, there was one in my backyard when I was a kid. I'm in Montana came from north dakota when I was a kid, great videos.
Chris, excellent work! We might have JUST missed each other at Arena. I agree with you that St. John's might not be standing much longer. Thank you for pointing out trespassing signs - I feel this is often overlooked by ghosttowners or curious adventure seekers and they are there for good reason. Thanks again for the video.
I'm from Barcelos, Portugal! I really hope to visit Saskatchewan and Montana someday, although that seems like impossible for me due to money problems. Your channel and others on youtube do give me hope though!
Get a work and travel visa for canada. That way you can pay for your travels and likely make much more money here. Construction in Alberta is almost always hiring
@@panamericaco are there non immigrant work visas, which do you recommend? Are there only construction jobs in the prairie side of Canada? Construction isnt really my thing
@@auburn.JoaoDuarte the work and travel visa would be the easiest and simplest to get non-immigrant visa. There's all kinds of jobs, just that construction is usually the best paying. I've heard of people working in restaurants and other service industries. If you have a specific skill you can always apply for jobs in the area. Canada is easy for hiring, a lot of jobs you walk in and can start tomorrow unlike europe where you'll apply for a job that starts on a 1st of a month in 3 months type thing.
Have explored more than a few ghost towns in Colorado and California and enjoyed them all. Watching your videos from Cincinnati, Ohio. Keep up the good work.
Greeting from West Java, Indonesia. North Dakota remains me of two thing. 1) Fargo both The Movie and The Series. 2) Far Cry 5, absolutely in good ways 😊... I hope you'll made another great video like this sir... great job 👌👍
Shout out from Lowry City, Missouri. Haven't been to North Dakota yet. Pretty amazing place, definitely gonna check it out. I did come across an abandoned church in rural Nebraska on my way to Wyoming. Thanks for the roadtrip. 😊
I live in Texas and have a camper van that has been out of comission with an engine swap for the last 18 months or so. These videos are so valuable to me right now! I've been all the way up to the canada border by Glacier but I've never been east of that,
Another good one Chris. Grew up in North Dakota. Did lots of hunting in a lot of these areas. My dad sold a lot of farm machinery in the Regan and Arena area.
I'm watching from Melbourne Australia, good on you for filming these towns I myself love visiting off the beaten track towns here there are plenty of them being similar size to United states but less people , look forward to you future shows take care and hope the best for you and your loved ones
Hello Chris, from NW Nebraska. I really enjoyed your video and narration. I used to drive truck into different parts of North Dakota quite often, but in all that time, it was always in the dark. So I can't say I've seen much of it. But I enjoy these scenes, much like the many ghost towns in my area, and think how nice it would be to go back in time and visit. Probably wouldn't want to come back. I'd have to bring my dog. Thanks for the tour. Very enjoyable.
Watching from Miami, Florida. I've really enjoyed your videos. You have a really good eye. Those old churches and grain elevators are fascinating subjects for photography.
I am from long beach CA and I moved to Rugby ND a year ago and it is ok here there are clicks here if you are not born here they don't like you here in ND and some of the stupid people here will even try to make up shit about you here I bought my house for 92 thousand so I don't have a mortgage my house is paid for and it was hard to get a job here because they don't like people from California and here in Rugby ND they like to hire more women then men and that's ok soon I am going to buy one of these businesses and I am going to fire all the women here and hire all men and yes I have the money to do it it is so bad here if you are from California that I am a certified welder and they won't give me a job here because I am from California and that's ok too because I know the secret to making money and I have a lot of it so slowly I am going to buy all of the businesses here and get people from California to work for me here and I am going to buy a lot of the houses here and rent them out for cheap and bring people from California to live here and have a great life and all because the people here are shitty and petty and they are really stupid here they don't know anything outside there box in ND I am also very good at research
I recently subscribed to your channel. I enjoy your presentation style. Recently watched your video “Abandoned places at night time lapse”. Seeing all the decaying buildings and vehicles against the backdrop of the eternal night sky; Brilliant. Very captivating. Thanks.🙏
My son lives in Fargo with his young kids. I'm imagining doing a summer camping/road trip to visit these places. Thanks for making such an excellent documentary!
Watching from Western Australia i will never get to visit these interesting places but the internet takes me their,thanks for your time spent creating these interesting vidoes
Another great video. Thank you. I am watching from Rock Springs Wyoming and I wander around a lot of ghost towns myself. I also do a lot of train watching on the Union Pacific main line across Wyoming
Can't understand how vast, yet small, maybe nothing larger than a small patch, where someone long ago lived out of their life. I grew up in that area has a Norwegian and though sometimes sad, it's quite captivating, at least for me.. World is a beautiful place!
The Burt bar had an attached hall and had roller skating on saturday nights until the mid 1960’s. The Nothern Pacific had passenger rail service to Mott ( seven miles away) for 25 cents.
I'm watching from Northern Allegheny mountains in Pennsylvania, I've never been out west, it's on my bucket list for sure, thank you for showing us these,beautiful little towns, I find it so interesting that even at a peak population of 150, they had the need for Banks and such however I guess it was a large rural population also and the railroads etc. a totally different way of life, I live in a rural area where 3000 or less is considered small not 300 or less
Please don't ever change a thing. Honestly one of the best parts is hearing the gravel crunching under your shoes. Makes it feel like I'm walking right along side. Like the fact you are expanding your travels. Small towns don't necessarily have to be abended to be interesting. Although I understand the theme of your travels. More content the better as far as I'm concerned. Is that where you got the bug to travel and do this from your Dad because of the way he was and working obligations? Like to know more about that time. Why would the wife get mad about flying your drone into that church? Was it a present from her? Keep up the good work. Always to long between episodes. 😀
Crazy C👀L Vid! viewing frumda Turtle Mountains/Bottineau, ND, hatched,reared & resided fer 3 score & 3 more trips arounda sun, so rather familiar wit many of these Ol'Villages, if only the Remnants kud chat, vat Most Interesting Tales dey kud yak, Yup'Chur Ya'Betchya.....Mange Takke Peace Out....& Beyonder
I'm watching from Portal ND. Did you come through here on your way down? I love this video thanks for the share. Flaxton was were my Mom was raised and I've lived there as well. Great roots and Grandpa was Canadian as well, still have family up there.
Thanks for watching! No I came thru Turner, MT. I can't believe I have not been to Portal since 1982, I will make a point of coming back that way one day.
Watching from San Francisco! I’ve taken Amtrak’s Empire Builder from Seattle (where my son lives) to Minneapolis (where my sister lives). Lots of these ghost towns along the way.
Fascinating, you show us things we may not see although I'd love to visit Saskatchewan sometime, I would definitely bring my camera! Watching from southern WI, US.
It's amazing that some of these abandoned towns are so well cared for, with the grass being trimmed even around buildings. I really appreciate your respect for No Trespassing signs, because I've seen a number of people on youtube who don't. Watching from BC, originally from Saskatchewan. Thanks, Chris!
The grass is taken for the farm animals. that is why is trimmed. It is cheap food for cattle, dried and and stored appropriate.
Black forest, south Germany here. Highly appreciate your videos and your way of narrating, thank you!
Thank you!
Strauss,plus, countless other people
6:29 😢 you make me cry when I see churches like this. It’s heartbroken.
I live in ND and you drive in any direction and see tons rundown and collapsing churches
Me, too...😢😢😢

Thank you so much!
Watching from ND! I’ve been here for over 40 years, and I haven’t heard of many of these towns!
Thanks for watching!
Just love this, the crickets, poor old town
Great work, Chris. I love these old rural places.
Thanks!

Such a pretty state, had we stayed in Sidney, I would have ended up in Williston for sure.
It's underrated for sure, I love the wide open spaces and natural beauty of ND.

There is a lot to see in New York, too.
i live in Hawaii, so seeing how vast and empty the mainland its really peaceful. everything is pretty cramped here so it must be nice to have room to stretch your arms out with all that open space.
North Dakota has LOTS of wide open spaces!!
When I drove across The Big Island, through pineapple and coffee plantations, I felt there was a lot of quiet wide-open space there. I believe that is rather different from the other Hawaiian islands.
@fabrikk60 as a tourist yeah I can see why you'd think that that but when you live here, you're constantly reminded that your surrounded by water. It doesn't compare to what's in the vid.
@@AwfulWaffle8474 Island Fever can be a real thing. Beautiful place to have it, though.
Watching from Ukraine. A lot of people don't understand how can abandoned places be beautiful? But they have some special aesthetics. I like to watch your videos late in the evening with cup of strong black tea or even bottle of nice beer, when everyone in the flat already sleeping and it is absolutely quiet outside.
Thanks for watching!

I am from long beach CA and I moved to Rugby ND a year ago and it is ok here there are clicks here if you are not born here they don't like you here in ND and some of the stupid people here will even try to make up shit about you here I bought my house for 92 thousand so I don't have a mortgage my house is paid for and it was hard to get a job here because they don't like people from California and here in Rugby ND they like to hire more women then men and that's ok soon I am going to buy one of these businesses and I am going to fire all the women here and hire all men and yes I have the money to do it it is so bad here if you are from California that I am a certified welder and they won't give me a job here because I am from California and that's ok too because I know the secret to making money and I have a lot of it so slowly I am going to buy all of the businesses here and get people from California to work for me here and I am going to buy a lot of the houses here and rent them out for cheap and bring people from California to live here and have a great life and all because the people here are shitty and petty and they are really stupid here they don't know anything outside there box in ND I am also very good at research
Watching from Lancaster Pennsylvania! Ive never been outside of my own state so I find your videos fascinating 😊
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for doing these videos Chris.
Watching from Houston Texas
Thanks for watching! I lived there briefly in the 80's.
I recently subscribed to your channel. I enjoy your presentation style. Recently watched your video “Abandoned places at night time lapse”. Seeing all the decaying buildings and vehicles against the backdrop of the eternal night sky; Brilliant. Very captivating. Thanks.🙏
Awesome! Thank you!
😮 how interesting..
we do have ghost towns in Italy as well ...lots of greetings
Bet those ghost towns are much older than the ones in North Dakota :)
Awesome channel, great footage and narration. This channel makes me want to move away from the East Coast.
Thanks for watching!
My son lives in Fargo with his young kids. I'm imagining doing a summer camping/road trip to visit these places. Thanks for making such an excellent documentary!
Thanks for watching!
Very respectful and informative exploring. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it
These are so awesome, I've been doing alot of work north of Alamo ND. I see so many old old buildings and churches.
Watching from Maryland. Love the video.
Thanks for watching!!
Watching from Ray, ND
My fav time to explore is in winter, but sadly not all roads are driveable. I wish I could see them like you describe.
@@attrell yeah I've had to park quite a distance away to trek in the snow and take pictures.
Watching from Western Australia i will never get to visit these interesting places but the internet takes me their,thanks for your time spent creating these interesting vidoes
Thanks for watching!
Another great video. Thank you. I am watching from Rock Springs Wyoming and I wander around a lot of ghost towns myself. I also do a lot of train watching on the Union Pacific main line across Wyoming
Yes I am eager to film trains there myself. I got one at Thermopolis and followed it south for 40 miles. AMAZING area!
@@attrell we recently had the Union Pacific big boy steam locomotive come through town. I got some great video of it. I really enjoy your videos
Can't understand how vast, yet small, maybe nothing larger than a small patch, where someone long ago lived out of their life. I grew up in that area has a Norwegian and though sometimes sad, it's quite captivating, at least for me.. World is a beautiful place!
Watching from Stutsman County, North Dakota. I loved and appreciated this video, well done! I'll definitely check out your others as well 😊
Thank you!!!
The Burt bar had an attached hall and had roller skating on saturday nights until the mid 1960’s. The Nothern Pacific had passenger rail service to Mott ( seven miles away) for 25 cents.
Wow roller skating? Neato!
I'm watching from Northern Allegheny mountains in Pennsylvania, I've never been out west, it's on my bucket list for sure, thank you for showing us these,beautiful little towns, I find it so interesting that even at a peak population of 150, they had the need for Banks and such however I guess it was a large rural population also and the railroads etc. a totally different way of life, I live in a rural area where 3000 or less is considered small not 300 or less
Hard to believe places could dry up so fast. Love the vid . Keep it up.
Thank you!
Watching from near Plaza, ND! Thanks for showcasing my home! I used to stop by both Tagus and Lonetree on the bus on the way to school in Berthold!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the cool images. I am watching in Cincinnati Ohio
Thanks for watching!
Hi Chris, great vlog.
watching from Melbourne Australia
Hey, thanks!
Watching from the south of Sweden. Really like your videos.
Thank you!
Please don't ever change a thing. Honestly one of the best parts is hearing the gravel crunching under your shoes. Makes it feel like I'm walking right along side. Like the fact you are expanding your travels. Small towns don't necessarily have to be abended to be interesting. Although I understand the theme of your travels. More content the better as far as I'm concerned.
Is that where you got the bug to travel and do this from your Dad because of the way he was and working obligations? Like to know more about that time.
Why would the wife get mad about flying your drone into that church? Was it a present from her?
Keep up the good work. Always to long between episodes. 😀
Hey thank you! My wife watched me wreck sa drone once. ha ha! I got the bug for ghost towns when I moved to Saskatchewan.

I'm watching from Portal ND. Did you come through here on your way down? I love this video thanks for the share. Flaxton was were my Mom was raised and I've lived there as well. Great roots and Grandpa was Canadian as well, still have family up there.
Thanks for watching! No I came thru Turner, MT. I can't believe I have not been to Portal since 1982, I will make a point of coming back that way one day.
Watching from San Francisco! I’ve taken Amtrak’s Empire Builder from Seattle (where my son lives) to Minneapolis (where my sister lives). Lots of these ghost towns along the way.
Thanks for watching!! I see that train all the time in Montana!
Fascinating, you show us things we may not see although I'd love to visit Saskatchewan sometime, I would definitely bring my camera! Watching from southern WI, US.
Thanks for watching!!
