Very few people, no businesses, and some old buildings. There is an abandoned rail line that runs by here which is why I was here in the first place. At one time there was a train station and grain elevators that I saw in old photos resulting from a Google Image search. While doing some research I found mention that the place was known for having a number of Jewish families years ago which I find quite interesting. When I was there I did not find any historical markers indicating that. There is very little to be found online. A library or historical society may be worth a trip. I was there April 26, 2015 and I will try to make it back to do a bit more digging.

I walked up the marker to get a picture and judging by the sign on the bottom I guess this is someone's residence now. I inadvertantly trespassed on their property.
My father was the minister here from 1961-1967
