Oelrichs Grain Elevator

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 grain elevator, 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.

Beautiful old grain elevator - one of my favorites.

Neat outhouse that had toilet paper inside.
