Abandoned towns are not particularly rare in the wheat and cattle country of Eastern Washington. The photo below is of what was the schoolhouse for Goodnoe Hills. The town was first settled in the 1860s and from all appearances, the building below was used as a community center until fairly recently. In addition to the schoolhouse there is a good collection of farmhouses, outbuildings, and commercial structures, several in fairly good state of repair. Most of the buildings from the former town are on private property that is part of a working ranch. The area is generally well-fenced and clearly posted against trespassing with the owners living a short distance away.
