Branch

The small town of Branch sits in the very southern tip of Franklin County, in western Arkansas. Branch was founded back in the early 1900s along a rail line that connected several coal mines. That rail line and the coal mines aren't around anymore, but there are a few old buildings still in Branch.

North of town is this abandoned church, tucked away amongst some pine and oak trees. It's been so dry this summer that some of trees are already starting to show some fall colors.

The tall grass in front of the church was home to a large population of grasshoppers, who leapt and jumped out of my way as I walked around the building for pictures.
