Robsart - Saskatchewan ... Ghost Town? ... August 2017

Robsart is an unincorporated community, 68 km south of Maple Creek Saskatchewan. As of 2006, the home of 16 people. Motto: "A Town With a Bright Future" (1915). Today? Still about 4 occupied houses and many more abandoned houses, stores and even a hospital. 

The hospital opened in 1917 and soon closed in the late 1930s. Since its closure the hospital has sat empty and neglected, being one of few surviving rural hospitals of its kind in Canada.
