List of Ghost Towns in the US:Wisconsin redirected here

[edit]
  • The Wisconsin section of {{List of ghost towns in the United States|List of ghost towns in the United States}} duplicates this list; I've replaced that list with a link to this page.
  • The first footnote reference on this page, to "Wisconsin Historical Society-Odd Wisconsin-Archives-Wisconsin Ghost Town", now 404s.

Redesign and expansion

[edit]

I've replaced the old bare list with a new table layout with additional information, and have over the past several days expanded the list from 24 to 156 entries. CNJECulver (talk) 06:16, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Inaccuracies

[edit]

There are a number of places on this list that aren't ghost towns in the sense of "a once-flourishing town wholly or nearly deserted usually as a result of the exhaustion of some natural resource" (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/ghost%20town). If you look at the articles linked to, you'll see that they are not articles about ghost towns:

I would like to remove these items from the list in the interest of factual accuracy. CoatGuy (talk) 17:19, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Looneyville is listed on this page. The count listed was Houston County, Wisconsin. However, there is no Houston County, Wisconsin. Thank you-RFD (talk) 22:27, 21 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
