Near Delco in Cassia County, Idaho — The American West (Mountains)
Idahome
When wheat farms disappeared and highway traffic replaced rail service here, Idahome became a ghost town. Its grain elevator, lumber yards, stores, airport, oil company, school, newspaper, and people are only past memories. An elevator and a few building foundations marker its site.
