Seirer_171020_9993.jpgAn old grain elevator sitting alongside railroad tracks at Pendennis is open — though not open for business. Pendennis, in Lane County on Kansas 4 Highway, has the credentials of a ghost town today. But once it had promise with a railroad depot, post office and school, in addition to the grain elevator. The post office, opened in 1894, was shut down more than half a century ago. The community merited no mention in the 2010 U.S. Census, and its existence has been erased from the official state highway map.
