City of Elberton

Elberton, Washington, is a ghost town located in Whitman County.

However, the town's prosperity was short-lived, as economic shifts and natural disasters led to its decline. Today, Elberton is mostly abandoned, with only a few remnants of its past, including the old church and cemetery, attracting history enthusiasts and paranormal investigators alike. The town is often visited by those interested in exploring its eerie, deserted streets and the stories of its former residents.
