Kingsdown is a semi-ghost town that had a hard time getting started in the first place. The post office was opened in 1888, closed in 1891, reopened in 1892, and then closed again in 1893! I bet that felt like whiplash to the poor townsfolk (and their correspondents). Finally, it opened for a much longer period in 1904, staying open until 1994 this time.
In town, we saw a number of small, aging homes and barns, a grain elevator, a church, and a cemetery. We also saw a bait shop in an old railroad caboose.
