Perhaps it has been moved.

Yes Dale - it's still called Prairie City, but was originally called
Dixie Town. Roxanne Smith has created a marvelous website for Grant
County at:  http://gesswhoto.com/grant.htm.  Prairie City is covered
quite well there - I just went there to check it out & the names bring
back such wonderful memories of our years there. You can find the Grant
County Genealogical Society's president's name & email address at the
bottom of that website. (I was a member when we started that society.)

 

Years ago we visited my dentist, Virgil Belknap in Idaho, before we
moved to Prairie City.  He told me he was born there & indeed his father
was a prominent Prairie City doctor.  My little granddaughter used to
call it "Pretty City" and that's very appropriate!  Grant County people
are wonderful & I miss them.

	I have a question.  Is Prairie City still called that and has
that always been its name?
