Post Office marker

Below the sign is a plaque commemorating the one hundred year anniversary of the Owens family farm that was started in 1906. They likely operated the post office. I stumbled across this wandering through Saskatchewan on June 10, 2016.

    1. This one really is in the middle of nowhere. There is nothing for miles in every direction at this marker. I always find it interesting how places once existed and vanished without a trace.

    2. I think that's what fascinates me about the pictures you show. The fact that something of consequence existed in these places and now there is nothing but a marker...and I'm sure there are many more places without even that. The "what happened here" is intriguing.

  3. Looks as if someone is still caring for the marker - it's well kept!
