15 Southeast Kansas Towns That Are Slowly Dying (And Why)

Southeast Kansas has lost more than half of its people since 1900. In this video I go through 15 towns across Labette, Crawford, Wilson, Montgomery and Cherokee counties. For each one I show what the 2020 Census says, what happened to its main employer, and what is still standing. The list ends with a town that was dissolved in 2012. Subscribe to FADED MAIN STREET for more documentaries on our state's changing landscape, and let me know which of these forgotten towns you have visited. #DyingTowns #Kansas #ForgottenTowns
