Pringle

Texas ghost towns run the full arc: cattle railheads, cotton towns the boll weevil broke, and oil booms that went bust.

Pringle-Morse Consolidated Independent School District is a public school district based in the community of Morse, Texas (US). Besides Morse, the only other sizeable community in the district is Pringle. Pringle-Morse Consolidated ISD covers southwestern Hansford County, northern Hutchinson County, and a small portion of southeastern Sherman County.

The on-the-ground condition of Pringle 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.

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.
