The story of Holman
Washington's ghost towns are mill towns and mining camps in country so green the forest is already taking them back.
Walter Ree Holman (born April 6, 1959) is an American former professional football player who was a running back for the Washington Redskins of the National Football League (NFL). He also played in the United States Football League (USFL) for the Pittsburgh Maulers and in the Arena Football League (AFL) for the Washington Commandos and the Detroit Drive. He played college football for the West Virginia State Yellow Jackets.
What you'll find today
The on-the-ground condition of Holman 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.
Getting there
Here's the honest truth: access to Holman 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.
Good to know
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.
