Ghost Town of Hamton

0 Comments

 
Located in east central Saskatchewan there was a small town called Hamton. Established in 1913, the population started to decline in 1957. The people left and the town became another ghost town in Saskatchewan.

On my first visit the town had many abandoned homes, community hall and some old businesses. Many of the buildings still had furniture, belongings and other contents. I revisited the site multiple times at which I noticed the community hall was converted into a skate park memorial and many of the houses had been vandalized. The town may be best know for its short yellow bus on main street. 

In an area full of heritage this town did not survive the test of time. Overgrown by the grass and taken over by wild animals this town is a beautiful site to see. Houses remain along gravel streets, old cars and even a short bus sits abandoned. The hall is completely silent and the power lines long cut. This town has a variety of buildings, some in better condition than others, but all abandoned. Unfortunately in 2018, due to safety concerns, the local rural municipality burned everything that remained to the ground.
