Every ghost town is a bet that didn't pay off. Cuba just shows the receipt more honestly than most. Cuba is a ghost town in Becker County, in the U.S. state of Minnesota. Cuba was named after the island of Cuba, a location in the Spanish–American War.
The story of Cuba
Minnesota's ghost towns are lumber camps and Iron Range locations, most of them already half-digested by the north woods.

What you'll find today
The on-the-ground condition of Cuba 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.
Getting there
Here's the honest truth: access to Cuba 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.
Good to know
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.
