When I first saw the following story, I had a feeling that the town was Fort Wingate, New Mexico. This was confirmed when I opened the article.
Fort Wingate, the town and former Army Deport, are ten miles from me (as the crow flies). I have been there a few times. To reach McGaffey Lake Recreational Area, one has to drive through Fort Wingate (the town). It is situated between Gallup and Jamestown.
Well, the town has been listed on the market as of November 5. If one has $11 million to spare, they can buy it.
From the New York Post:
A New Mexico town that housed military men from 1860 until it was abandoned in 1910 is up for sale for $11 million, The Post has learned.
The potential buyer would be getting an original trading post with Fort Wingate, which spans over 7,000 square feet and includes a café, a post office and even a gas station. It also comes with a massive parking lot that currently houses over 80 RVs as well as 27 rental homes, all of which are “100 percent occupied,” according to the listing.
