It focuses on 100 tow... [Read More]

After a few years, the trains stopped coming altogether. By 1904 the post office was gone.Like hundreds of towns across Kansas, Palermo peaked then petered, leaving behind only a faded image of its former self. Now it's a ghost town-a shadowy remnant of what it once was, says Daniel... [Read More]
