Peterson
Railway Avenue
Peterson is a hamlet located on Highway 5 in the rural municipality of Bayne No. 371, Saskatchewan. The village was founded when the railway was built in 1911-12.[1]
It is considered a ghost town by some because of the many empty and deteriorating buildings in what once was a more populous farming community with two churches, a grain elevator and several businesses.[2] Yet in the village, St. Agnes Catholic Church continues to have services every Sunday. The Community Hall was torn down in December 2012, [3]and the grounds are maintained in the St. Agnes Ukrainian and Catholic Cemetery.[4]
