History

Waco

Once a station on the

Northern Pacific Railroad east of Billings, Waco had a few local accommodations and an active post office from 1907 to 1918. Waco was an agriculturally based community on the south side of the Yellowstone River
, situated just off Custer Frontage Road. The region is still used for agriculture and a number of ranches have developed around it, but the town itself is no longer inhabited. Today Waco is a ghost town, with a few closed off streets and a small number of standing structures. Though a majority of the buildings have either collapsed or have been removed, enough are still standing to make for a true and recognizable ghost town that is partially accessible.

Fee

Less than a mile east of Waco also lies the site of Fee, once a nearby stop that also supported a short lived community. Nothing remains of Fee today.
