Oelrichs

Oelrich is a small town in Fall River south of Hot Springs and about 12 miles north of the Nebraska border. It has a small population, a cool old mill, a bar, a church, a post office, a couple of gas stations, and a cemetery. The town was laid out in 1885 and has a lot of abandoned buildings. When I went there to take pictures I was followed by a car in town, and even questioned by someone at the cemetery of my intentions. Just be aware of that if you visit.

One of my favorite old mills to photograph.

Post office was there since 1885.

Local bar.

Pretty church.

Cat came out to greet me.

Lots of old abandoned buildings.

Outhouse had toilet paper in it - interesting.

Old school?? Being redone by the Historical Society.

Nice cemetery.
