The County Run Poor Farm. Before modern safety net programs, counties across America created poor farms to care for people with no other options. In Holt County, Missouri, a working farm outside Oregon housed the elderly, disabled, sick, and those without family support. It was not a prison, but it was often a last resort. Today the buildings are fading, but the story remains an important reminder of how rural communities once cared for their own. #ruralhistory #smalltownstories #missourihistory

This cemetery was hard to find! The location on find a grave doesn’t match its actual location… it’s in rough condition. Maybe some work needs to be done here in the future. | Past Preservation

🪦 MAJOR UPDATE! It appears that the Paupers Cemetery is getting a new fence! 🙂 It sure could use one. And by the looks of it, the area will be tightened up and made smaller...farther away from 21st Street and folks walking by to enter the dog park. The Paupers Cemetery is located at the southwest corner of Lower Gold Camp Road and 21st Street...next to the Bear Creek Dog Park. Speaking of the dog park, that land and the current park grounds were previously used for the El Paso County Poor Farm
