Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Haggard, Kansas. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

Input from a former Kansan

[edit]

Hi. I'm from Kansas. I know that "original research" is inadmissable in encyclopedia content, but I'm pretty sure you can verify this using "Google Street View."

Edit: In fact, I just did. Google Street view calls the place 19331 US-56, Cimarron KS. At that location there's a grain elevator. The pasture behind the grain elevator is where Haggard Kansas once stood.

There is no visible trace remaining at that site. Not a single building nor a single scrap of pavement. Not even a wind-scoured concrete foundation. The last people moved away in the 60s or 70s when I was a kid, and at some point the last few bits of the buildings got completely torn out. Blowing dust on the Mariahs eventually eats unmaintained wooden buildings in exposed places like that, but somebody went to the trouble to tear out even the last bits of pavement and concrete foundations. It's gone.

Last time I drove past there was probably 2005. I was making a rare visit home, and that's when I noticed the last bits of it were gone. When I was a kid there were still a few wrecked buildings back there.
