Miller, Kansas

There is not much left of Miller today.  It was founded as a Santa Fe railroad town northeast of Emporia back in the 1880s.  Named for a baseball player, Miller had high hopes of being more than just a railroad town.  During the next 50 years, the town boomed, but the depression years of the 1930's impacted the community.  Until recently, the town was a collection of impressive ruins.  Now even the ruins are disappearing at a rapid rate.  These pictures are all that are left.
