Help tracking down a town that's gone.
In the northwestern part of Pennsylvania is an area that I bear hunt. In the late 1800's there was a town of a few thousand. When hunting a few years ago we came across an area that my cousin, who owns the cabin there and knows a little about the town, said we were standing on Main Street. Today, there's nothing other than some cement curbs and such that's left. I'd love to find some info over the next few months and take a trip up to MD in the fall. I did a bunch of searches on the Internet and found nothing. I guess I'm looking for some ideas on how to go about finding the info. There's next to nothing there now - literally. I don't think there even a post office so going to their library won't work. The few businesses that are there now have some old photos but those are the only pics I've seen.
I'm new to this hobby so I'd really appreciate some help getting started.
