Muskoda, Minnesota
Muskoda is a ghost town in section 7 of Hawley Township in Clay County, Minnesota, United States.[1]
History
Muskoda received its name from the Ojibwa word Mashkode, which according to Baraga means "a meadow or tract of grassland, a large prairie."[2] The townsite was originally on a line of the Northern Pacific Railroad until that railroad moved its line to a more gradual grade, leaving Muskoda about one half mile off the new line. The town had a post office from 1873 until 1930,[3] and also at one time had a general store, a grain elevator, and a potato warehouse. Little trace of the town remains today.

gollark: "we like to look at things as if it all for us, as if something is so grand about us, in truth we can only be grand if we so choose, and can properly attain it. but if we can, then what ever IT is was never for us. and thus only a blip in time, our memory and all of action erased as if it was never there, what is so special about us? nothing really." sounds pretty nihilist.
gollark: No, seems like rebranded nihilism.
