Abandoned Eastern North Dakota

An exploration of North Dakota's abandoned buildings, revealing the rich history and craftsmanship hidden within their weathered walls.

When we see abandoned buildings, it's our natural instinct to wonder why they have been left behind to the intense elements of North Dakota. Come along with author, Katherine Rose Bingham, down a dirt road to see the workmanship of the past. Walk into a room and discover layers of wallpaper, the years peeling away one at a time. Drive by an old barn and look inside to see a treasured old vehicle left covered in dust. Observe a steeple towering over the trees, the cooing of pigeons the only noise coming from the choir loft.

Katherine Rose Bingham moved to a North Dakota farm in 2014. The farm had been in the family since 1938. She has always believed she was born in the wrong era, and these old pieces of history hold a fascination and wonderment for her. Katherine finds joy in capturing a town that was once a booming oil field, seeing the hills divided where a train once trudged, and trying to preserve what once was in these vastly changing times.
