Interesting question April. Oddly, I’m becoming so curious about Timken now. Cheryl’s travels are always interesting and I enjoy reading about and seeing pictures of the various towns. But for some reason I really want to know yet more about Timken. And more about that building with the broken awnings.

I wonder how the town got named Timken. Was that someone’s last name? Or two brothers, Tim and Ken? Or a Native American word?
Janet
Is there a district one?

(you got me curious as well, Janet.
Thanks Tom, that was interesting. I see it was named after the original owner of the land.
Sad to see towns die. But that one still has about 80 people.
