Southern County ''Lost Town'' Sites Tour

The McLeod County Historical Society has identified 30 Lost Towns that existed at one time throughout the fourteen townships in the county-so many towns that the Museum has created a Northern and a Southern Lost Town Sites guide. Each guide gives directions to each lost town, photos, maps, and historical background on the town featured in the tour.

To kick off the completion of our "Southern Lost Town Sites Guide", the Museum is offering a tour of nine Southern lost towns for $15 per person, which includes the Southern guide Booklet. The tour will begin and end at the new Henry Hill Community Center parking lot in Glencoe. We will start at 1 P M and end at 5:30 P M. The following is a list of the lost towns we will visit and learn the history of on our tour: Franklin, Karns City, Lake Addie, Sumter, Collins, Sundown, Old Hamburg, Penn Cheese Factory, and Fernando.
