Keasey

Oregon's ghost towns are timber camps and high-desert gold strikes, preserved by dry air and long distances.

Keasey is a former settlement in Columbia County, Oregon, United States. It was named after settler Eden W. Keasey, who was also first postmaster of the post office, which operated from August 5, 1890, to 1955. There are no remains of the original community due to the destruction of the Portland, Astoria & Pacific Railroad.

The on-the-ground condition of Keasey 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 Keasey 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.
