Ghost Town of Treece, Kansas
The old mining town of Treece, Kansas has met the same fate as the towns of Picher and Cardin, Oklahoma and the homes were bought out by the federal government and are destined to be removed.
The town is undermined and surrounded by chat piles and contaminated with lead. Photos by J. Schehrer, 2011
