Ghost Town Hunters Document Churches In Dakotas, Elsewhere
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Two Fargo radio personalities who for the past decade have been documenting ghost towns and abandoned places in North Dakota say their most popular photos have been those of old churches.
The fourth coffee table book for Terry Hinnenkamp and Troy Larson features churches that were built in the Dakotas and elsewhere and are still standing, some after more than 150 years. "Churches of the High Plains" went on sale last week.
The 120-page hardcover book features buildings and cemeteries from North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Nebraska and Manitoba.
Larson says his favorite photos are from the Brown Earth Church and Cemetery in Grant County, South Dakota, which was built by Native Americans in 1877. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The book sells for $34.95.
