But they were all restored and in excellent condition. I parked my car and wandered around for a while when an older gentleman named Keith Johnson came out of a house, He had done all of this work himself. He bought the buildings and moved them to Ayr and restored them. It was a hobby for him. I'm guessing that he probably donated these buildings to the Frontier Village in Fargo by now...but if he didn't and they are still there in Ayr it's an amazing site to see. [Ray Gomes, 06/09/1999]
[RA: November 2008: Keith Johnson's town is still in Ayr. He received recognition in 2007 from the North Dakota Historical Society for his persistence in acquiring his own town. Its official name is the Cass County Pioneer Village.]Nearby Offbeat Places
