Abandoned Places

Tadmor Ghost Town

Vandalia, OH

Tadmor waits under the trees where Ohio's Great Miami meets its old canal, road and rail lines — a crossroads town emptied by floods and finished by the 1913 catastrophe's flood-control works. Trail telling keeps canal lights and towpath footsteps.
