The town, whose population fell from its peak of 350 in the 1920s to only two in the late 1990s, is in immaculate condition. And that\u2019s because the last two people living there, Keith and Beverly Hagen, have devoted much of their time to preserving its legacy.

And at the end of the road near the old well-water pumps is the fire hall with a gleaming old-fashioned fire wagon still inside. The grass around the entire town is painstakingly trimmed, and the iron sign labelling the town as \u2018Scotsguard\u2019 can be seen from the highway amongst the wheat.<\/p>\n
