Bradford is a fascinating place known as a ghost town in Wabaunsee County, Kansas, United States. A ghost town is a place where most people have moved away, and very few (or no) residents live there anymore. Bradford is located between two other towns, Eskridge and Harveyville.

History of Bradford

Bradford once had a busy post office. This post office first opened its doors in 1890. A post office was a very important part of a town back then. It helped people send and receive letters and packages. This shows that Bradford was a lively community with people living and working there. However, the post office closed down in 1941. When a post office closes, it often means that fewer people are living in the area. Over time, Bradford became the quiet ghost town it is today.
