Montana seeks caretaker for Kendall ghost town state monument
Glenn C. Morton of Lewistown offered Kendall and 160 surrounding acres to the Montana Highway Commission to become Kendall Memorial State Monument. The commission will search for a caretaker for the June 1 to Nov. 1 season and preserve the Kendall name. Morton and Mrs. J. H. McClain, former Kendall residents, value the property at over $12,000 and propose the state may pay up to $100 monthly for a custodian. The area holds ruins from a once-bustling mine town with a 1887 gold rush history and a peak population over 1,200.
