Granville

Indiana's ghost towns are canal towns, coal camps, and railroad stops the interstates finished off.

Granville S. Waiters (January 8, 1961 – March 23, 2021) was an American professional basketball player. At 6 ft 11 in (2.11 m) and 225 lb (102 kg), Waiters played center. As a senior in high school, Waiters helped Columbus East to a state championship over St. Joseph, who were led by his eventual Buckeyes and Pacers teammate Clark Kellogg. During the 1982–83 season for Ohio State, he was a team captain and averaged 10.4 points and 7.5 rebounds per game. He was drafted by the Portland Trail Blazers in the second round of the 1983 NBA draft.

The on-the-ground condition of Granville 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 Granville 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.

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.
