*** About Western Towns: Western towns, often glamorized in folklore and cinema, played pivotal roles during the expansion of the United States in the 19th century. They typically sprung up in areas that supported cattle ranching, mining, or were along the routes of major trails and railways. These towns were the epicenters of trade, social life, and governance in the rugged frontiers of the American West. Authenticity marked their buildings, built primarily from the abundant local timber and designed to meet immediate needs rather than aesthetic aspirations. Today, these towns, whether restored or maintained as historical sites, offer invaluable insights into the everyday lives and struggles of their former inhabitants, acting as tangible connections to the past.
