Lurton

Just up the road from Booger Hollow is the small community of Lurton. The town sits in the rolling Ozark Mountains, and dates back to the late 1800s. There are a small collection of old abandoned buildings here, including the ruins of an old hotel that was built in the 1930s. The two-story hotel was considered to be quite fancy for the time, and even provided home-cooked meals. And for many years it was a popular spot for travelers making their way up Hwy. 7. But the hotel would close, and for awhile the building was a private home. It is empty and abandoned now.





The building looks to be in pretty rough shape, and has partially collapsed. There's no telling how much longer it will be standing.



Nearby was this old church, which was also left empty and abandoned.





The sign above the door, which is barely visible through the overgrown brush and vines states: "Lurton Community Church - Everyone Welcome."
