Weathered monuments leave us to ponder the lives they once knew.

What is it about an abandoned school, home or church (and sometimes an entire town) that leads us to pause and reflect? We wonder about their story and what caused them to give up their dreams? Sometimes it was the Great Depression, ravaging floods or things we just don’t know. This video shares images captured in rural Missouri and Kansas, taken in the course of hiking trips, that capture a glimmer of the past.
