The path will take you through the ruins of Old Quindaro's commercial district, past where homes were built in the town and in the wooded hills which surrounded the commercial district. No complete buildings or houses remain in the lower town site commercial district. What exist are ruins of the nineteenth century town.
Ruins are the remains of a destroyed or decaying building or town.
Building Ruins Photos from the 1927 Quiverian Yearbook. The foundation remains of twenty main buildings, two outbuildings, three wells, and one cistern, were uncovered by archaeologist Larry J. Schmits and his crew in 1987 and 1988. Many other structures exist but have not been uncovered. Quindaro's commercial district was in the lower town site. Most of the business structures were located along Kansas Avenue, the main north-south street.
