Saint Anthony

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

The on-the-ground condition of Saint Anthony 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.
