A Ghost Town And Haunted Woods Await After Dark At This Missouri Farm
An Old West ghost town hides in the dark woods of a working farm, and live actors are waiting inside it. That alone makes me want to grab a flashlight and a very brave friend. The trail winds through cursed woods, lantern-lit fog, and even stretches of a corn maze. A full walk can take 40 minutes to an hour.

Wind turbines and transmission lines cross farmland, power plants are built in rural counties, and the costs of the nation's energy transition can fall disproportionately on people and communities that may not directly benefit from the infrastructure being built. A new research center at the University of Missouri aims to bring greater attention to those impacts. The Center for Rural Energy Security (CRES) was launched by the University of Missouri in 2025 to conduct energy research with a rural perspective, focusing on how federal and state energy policies and technological innovations affect rural communities, agriculture, and economic growth. The Center’s work is intended to help ensure that rural issues are considered in broader conversations about the future of energy policy. As the first university-affiliated energy policy research institute in the country to focus exclusively on energy policy and technology innovation for agriculture, rural communities, and rural economic development, CRES released its first policy research paper on Sept. 3.
