Chase Seabolt, 21 of Lubbock Tx., walks past an abandoned truck at the Shaniko Ghost Town Museum on May 31, 2021 in Shaniko, Ore. According to a State of Oregon website, the town’s heyday was the early part of the 20th century when it was the largest wool warehouse in the state. Even as a ghost town, Shaniko comes up short. According to the state website, “Shaniko attracts ghost town tourists every year, but water issues prevent large scale tourism.”
