Marion Station, Maryland:
Named for the daughter of its creator during the 1860s, Marion Station is Maryland's best known ghost town. The area, near Colbourne Creek, was the world's leading strawberry producer and the railroad enabled the town to host the world's largest strawberry auction. At its peek, daily production surpassed today's total yearly United States production. Strawberry consumption declined in the 1950s and, today, the small town retains only a handful of businesses. The fully restored train station is now an Indian museum.
