Once a thriving community, it has seen a steady decline since the 1950s and in the present day it resembles a ghost town. The hotel and saloon closed in 2006 but reopened in May 2008, embracing western heritage and culture. The Piapot Saloon and Guesthouse offers an escape from everyday life in the spirit of the original settlers as well as a gift shop and old western saloon. The only other business that is open to the public is the post office.
