Prineville, Ore. – The Bowman Museum in Prineville is hosting a free event where people can learn more about Eastern Oregon Ghost Towns.
In the talk “Ghost Towns of Eastern Oregon” – author Keith May will tell the audience about the stages of town development, the reasons for the existence of a town, the historical and humorous stories.
A large part of the story of Ghost Towns that started in North Central Oregon is the desire to reach the markets of Prineville and central Oregon.
