Calhoun

Kansas ghost towns are what happens when the railroad changes its mind and the wheat stops paying.

Donald Clevester Calhoun (April 29, 1952 – December 14, 2020) was an American professional football running back who played for nine seasons in the National Football League (NFL) for the Buffalo Bills, New England Patriots. and Philadelphia Eagles. He later played for the New Jersey Generals of the United States Football League (USFL). Prior to playing in the NFL, Calhoun played football at Wichita High School North and Kansas State University. He was selected in the tenth round of the 1974 NFL draft by Buffalo.

The on-the-ground condition of Calhoun is unverified — it's listed here with unknown status. That could mean standing buildings, or an empty field. Go prepared for either, and consider sharing what you find so the record improves.

Nobody has confirmed the access situation, so treat any visit as reconnaissance: verify land ownership first, and be ready to admire from the road.

Here's the honest truth: access to Calhoun is unverified. We couldn't confirm whether the site sits on public land, private property, or something in between — so verify land ownership and local rules before visiting, and respect private property at all times.

Ghost-town etiquette is simple: take only photographs. Removing artifacts is illegal on public lands and disrespectful everywhere else — and on federal land it can be a serious offense.
