Zero residents

Dummer, Saskatchewan started as a town around 1912. One internet source said a post office in the area started using the name Dummer in 1909. The last residents moved out in 1993.

A few quick images. It started to snow when I was there and was only able to get a few shots.

You can street view this place on Google Maps.

  2. The second structure is interesting - it looks like a house and yet it has lightning rods which I don't typically see on houses.

  3. That teal-ish colour in the one house we've seen on many others out on the prairies. Given the frugality of rural folks, there must have been a big sale somewhere.

  4. Neat! Maybe they all moved to Smarter.

  5. I visited Dummer in 2014, mind you there was lots of abandonment still there. Items on the shelves, old cars parked by the houses... Unfortunately some vandals/pickers have come to this ghost town and wrecked & taken items. A few houses have disappeared since.

  6. Did anyone snag the contents of the plaque (I think) in front of the community hall. Appears to face the hall for some reason...
