21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
Midwestern Ghost Town

Downtown in Helena, Arkansas. There is so much history in this rivertown and so much heart, I met so wonderful many people. But like many Midwestern rivertowns, as commerce shifts, their historic downtowns are left empty, abandoned, and the residents find themselves wondering how to revitalize their town.
