Nicodemus Faces Future as Population Dwindles
In Nicodemus Kansas a 102 year old resident and a town of 22 struggle to stay alive. The town founded by former slaves in 1877 once boomed to 650 people but declined after the railroad bypassed it in 1888. National Historic Site status in 1996 brought a visitor center and rangers, yet aging residents fear not enough newcomers or funds to restore four key buildings. Local residents emphasize heritage, landowners, and the need to attract new families to avoid becoming a ghost town.
