Kenna New Mexico

own a part of a Historic railroad and Ghost town

Sort of on the edge of the Llano Estacado, where the buffalo roamed and the antelope still play. Truely the setting for the song "home on the range" and the home of the guy who can sing it. Wayne Crume. Song writer and poet. Aproduct of Kenna.Go north from Roswell 100 miles. You will pass "Acme", "Frazier School House", "Elkins School House", "Boaz" (all ghost towns) on the way. When you get to the "Pioneer Club" you are almost to Kenna so start slowing down. Kenna is nestled in a little valley. The first view will not impress you very much unless you lived there at one time. Then it will impress you a lot and make you real sad for just a little while. Just close your eyes and maybe you will hear some children laughing, hymns coming from the three church houses that used to be there, cow bells donging, because most of the families had a milk cow, and across the tracks was Ed Dentons feed yard full of cattle being fedfor slaughter. If you whiffed the air back then you could tell you were in cow country.
REMAINS: Quite a bit. Store. Drug store. Service station. Depot. Stock yards. A few houses.
