Nekoma might be a dead town, but the bank is still open for tours. (Hutchinson News, 5/30/2017)
Most Kansas ghost towns are no more than foundations, weathered headstones or tilled-up farmland that has wiped away traces of existence. Some are only memories visible in black-and-white photographs.
Yet when the few buildings that still stand at Nekoma finally blow over, a vestige of the town’s past will live on at the Rush County Historical Society.
The wood-frame Nekoma State Bank - once the last operating wood-frame bank in Kansas - has been restored, giving folks a glimpse of what life was like in a prairie town, said Brad Penka.
