Freda

North Dakota's ghost towns are homestead-era towns the drought and the Depression emptied in a single brutal decade.

Freda Township is a township in Grant County, North Dakota, United States. Its population as of the 2000 Census was 12. It lies in the eastern part of the county along the Cannonball River.

The on-the-ground condition of Freda is unverified — it's listed here with unknown status. That could mean standing buildings, or an empty field. Go prepared for either, and consider sharing what you find so the record improves.

Nobody has confirmed the access situation, so treat any visit as reconnaissance: verify land ownership first, and be ready to admire from the road.

Here's the honest truth: access to Freda is unverified. We couldn't confirm whether the site sits on public land, private property, or something in between — so verify land ownership and local rules before visiting, and respect private property at all times. The mapped point for Freda is roughly 46.2903, -101.1503 — use it as a starting point and cross-reference a current topographic map before leaving pavement.

Ghost-town etiquette is simple: take only photographs. Removing artifacts is illegal on public lands and disrespectful everywhere else — and on federal land it can be a serious offense.
