Took a little visit about ten miles north of GF to Portage on Saturday; it’s not a town or village – just sort of a one-time train stop with a couple of abandoned grain elevators (?), with a large homestead adjacent. We were there for a huge auction (conducted by the awesome Burows team). We snuck out of the proceedings for a bit and poked around the old buildings; most of the stuff we saw inside (invoices, posters, etc) was from 1948-1980, including a Coke can with the ring-tab pull-top.
