There are so many beautiful abandoned churches, this is St. Joseph’s Church and Cemetery .  Built in 1910 and decommissioned as a church in the late 1980’s  There is an effort to restore the church and it will then serve as a museum for McDowell Creek area a community center.  The Geary County Historical Society and Friends of the St. Joseph’s Church has made many improvements to the beautiful church

The cemetery has burials dating from the 1870’s.
