Oklahoma Ghost Towns

We drove through several of the small towns on the west side of Grand Lake and compared to the small towns of Wisconsin, these towns are very depressing. The downtown areas of Afton, Langley, Disney and Fairland, Oklahoma looked on the verge of being ghost towns even with as much activity there is in the area. Most of the old downtown buildings looked too far gone to do anything with and because of these conditions there is nothing to draw any other business or tourists into the downtown area. This is a shame being how beautiful the Grand Lake O' the Cherokees area is. In contrasts most of the downtown areas of the small towns of Wisconsin were thriving with business and most of those towns are much older than the Oklahoma towns.
