Tishomingo National Wildlife Refuge Ghost Town
Aired On: 2011-10-01Tucked away along the shore of Lake Texoma, this restful spot with abundant wildlife contains a ghost town... a few abandoned buildings are all that's left of what was the thriving community of Washita Farms. Just shells of the original structures remain here in the Tishomingo National Wildlife Refuge, and the whispering wind carries tales from the past...Now being reclaimed by nature, Washita Farms was a community of 53 residents during the first part of the 20th century. Surely, their spirits still dwell amidst the school house, church, store and silos (now barely shadows of themselves) in what is now the Tishmingo Wildlife Refuge.
