There is still a lot of work to be done on this site. I figure it is going to take a few years just to get to some point of completion and even then there will still be work to be done. Here is what has happened since I started this site about two weeks ago:
- Got the wiki up and running
- Created links for each of the Oklahoma counties on the wiki page
- Created maps for almost all of the counties. Found a few I missed when uploading the maps.
- Listed ghost towns in each of the counties.
- Began work on few of the ghost towns listed.
- Setup a Twitter account and configured settings to push out site updates over Twitter.
- Created an Amazon store for books I recommend reading.
- Created a Flickr group page for other to share their ghost town pictures.
- Created a Facebook fan page.
- Got the blog pages laid out nicely and tried to make them user friendly.
Here is a list of things I still need to get done:
- Create maps for each of the ghost towns to try and show where within the county that town lies.
- Research at least one ghost town a week and work on its wiki page.
- Continue looking for other towns that the site does not currently have listed.
- Travel to as many of these towns or areas as I can to get new pictures for the site.
- Promote the site and history as much as possible.
I have great expectations and hopes for this site. I welcome others who share the same interest to join me in educating others about Oklahoma’s ghost towns. If you have any information or knowledge to share about any of the towns or know of other towns that we don’t currently have listed, please use the contact page to share it. I have gotten several submissions so far and they have all been great.
