COMMENTS:
one resident - a full-time caretaker REMAINS: complete town still standing |
| Kitsault was built in the 1970's for employees of a magnesium mine. There were several thousand residents. After only one and a half years, the mine proved to be unprofitable and was shut down. The town was abandoned. Today, there is still a complete, but vacant town. There are modern subdivisions with paved streets and curbs, apartment buildings, a community center, a recreation center and a hospital. Kitsault is a modern day ghosttown. Most of the visitors are bears! Submitted by: Robby McHenry |
