183 - OKATON... sign for a ghost town Emailed Comments: Hi...just browsing the net and noticed your site makes it sound like Okaton, exit 183, is a rest area with no facilities. I realize what it actually says, but I would like it very much if you could give Okaton some recognition. Okaton was once a thriving farm town, depleted of residents mainly by the Dirty Thirties and depression. But, you can still buy gas, goodies, rocks and other treasures at the Ghost Town stop. The Milwaukee railroad arrived in 1907 and the grain elevator built at that time still stands. Other old buildings where families once lived, worked, loved and played are crumbling, adding to the ghost town affect. At the moment only 4 houses are lived in. Another family will return when school starts in nearby Murdo. We may be small, but we are still here....more than an exit number. Thanks. Clarice R
