We Never Knew These American Small Towns Existed, and Now We’re Intrigued

The Midwest is such a wide and expansive stretch of the country that it’s easy to feel completely alone. However, if you’re ever feeling down about it as you’re driving through, you should consider visiting the small town of Monowi in Nebraska. Then you may truly understand the meaning of the word ‘loneliness’.

Monowi is distinctive because it has a very small population; only one person lives there, Elsie Eiler. The village used to have a larger population, but starting with the Great Depression, its residents began leaving until Elsie was the only one left. So, swing by if you happen to be in the area; we’re sure Elsie would appreciate some company.
