Stad - Mogollon, NM - Stadsbijeenkomst 1940 Legpuzzel

Colorized foto from 1940 Original title: Crowd of men sitting on board walk in front of bar Photographer: Russell Lee Location: 867 Bursum Rd, Mogollon, NM This is Mogollon, New Mexico in 1940, originally this town was a gold mining town. They started the town around 1870-1880, but it started to diminish in the 1940s. As the gold prices dropped, they started to leave, the caves were dusty and full of quartz dust, which is really bad for the lungs. In its day 3000 people lived and worked there, but by the 1940's it was just a handful. Wat is er mogelijk: that these people here, were the only people left in the town. It most makes you vliewhat they are talking about. They seem like they are having a good time in there Today this building is gone, replaced with a house, a Grand drainage trench replace that sidewalk. The town has a hotel but its otherwise a museum now, and no one really lives there.
