It is considered a ghost town by some because of the many empty and deteriorating buildings in what once was a more populous farming community with two churches, a grain elevator and several businesses.[2] Yet in the village, St. Agnes Catholic Church continues to have services every Sunday. The Community Hall was torn down in December 2012, and the grounds are maintained in the St. Agnes Ukrainian and Catholic Cemetery.[3]
