Abandonment and History

, , 4 Comments

I came across this abandoned farmstead in the west central portion of Wildwood; the barn is starting to deteriorate and has collapsed on one side.

A simple house nearby sits empty.  I often remark that while the population of Wildwood is higher now than a century ago, there are certain places where the population is actually lower, as settlement patterns change and ebb and flow.

This abandoned schoolhouse, which seems to be stable, sits empty and unused.  Does anyone else see the creepy doll hanging in the upstairs window?

    The creepy doll looks to me like a Christmas tree-topper angel. Still a little creepy.

      Not sure if I remember exactly; it was in Wildwood way out on the western edge for all of them.
