Stories:

Ulm was once a thriving agricultural center. In the heyday of its existence there was a store, hotel, railroad station, dance hall, school, church and approximately two dozen homes. It was a bustling little burg in those days with all the good fellowship of the West. It had all the earmarks of a town that would grow, supported by a prosperous and extensive agricultural region, and warrant its investments. But the automobile came and took the farmers past Ulm and in their wake went Ulm, piece by piece. Today all that remains of a little town that serviced a large and thriving agricultural area are the ghosts that stand to remind the sight seen that there is an element of luck in every enterprise in life.
