Dakota border in the remote northern reaches of the US state of Nebraska, a long dirt road cuts through rolling prairie grasslands and golden wheat fields towards downtown Monowi, a place you can see in its entirety by climbing any of its hay bales.</p> <p>An abandoned church, whose empty pews are now filled with tractor tyres, stands opposite the decaying skeleton of a grain elevator. Weeds and brome grass twist around the rotting remnants of homes that are collapsing in on themselves. And inside a white, squat building with paint peeling off its frame, 84-year-old Elsie Eiler is flipping pork fritters and cracking open beer bottles for a pair of regulars under a sign that reads: “Welcome To The World Famous Monowi Tavern. Coldest Beer In Town!”</p> <p>When Eiler’s husband, Rudy, passed away in 2004, he didn’t just leave her to run the tavern, but the whole town.

Each year, she hangs up a notice in Monowi’s only business (her bar) advertising mayoral elections, and then votes for herself. She’s required to produce a municipal road plan every year to secure state funding, and then raises about $500 worth of taxes from herself annually to keep the town’s three lampposts flickering and its water flowing.</p> <p>“When I apply to the state for my liquor and tobacco licenses each year, they send them to the secretary of the village, which is me,” she explained. “So, I get them as the secretary, sign them as the clerk and give them to myself as the bar owner.”</p> <p>She also keeps track of the list of nearby vacant residential lots, in case anybody wants to move into one of the decaying buildings and double the town’s population.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="sg-slides-item" data-sg-slide data-sg-content-slide data-sg-slide-text-color="white" data-sg-slide-type="overlay-bottom-left" data-sg-slide-has-ambient-video aria-labelledby="slide-info slide-label-4"> <div class="sg-slide sg-slide-overlay-bottom-left sg-slide-white" data-sg-full-height data-sg-info-content> <div class="sg-slide-inline-image " data-sg="inline-image"> <div class="sg-slide-inline-image-wrapper"> <div class="sg-slide-inline-image-responsive-box responsive-box responsive-box--landscape"> <div class="responsive-box__content"> <img data-fixed-width-format="" width="130" height="73" title="Monowi, Nebraska (Credit: Credit: Will Francome)" alt="Monowi, Nebraska (Credit: Credit: Will Francome)" class="responsive-box__content__inner" data-caption=""I’m happy here.

Eiler grew up on a farm a quarter of a mile from town and met Rudy in Monowi’s one-room schoolhouse when she was in primary school.</p> <p>The two took the bus together to the nearest secondary school seven miles away until Rudy enlisted in the US Air Force. While Rudy served in France during the Korean War, Eiler went off to Kansas City to have an adventure of her own. “I went to work for an airline with the dream of becoming a stewardess,” she remembered. “I didn’t much care for the city; Monowi had always been home.”</p> <p>She returned home to marry Rudy at 19 and raise two children. When Rudy, who had been working at the grain elevator and delivering fuel to petrol stations, had the idea of fixing up the old tavern that had once belonged to Eiler’s father, she said, “Okay by me,” and the couple opened its doors in 1971.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="sg-slides-item" data-sg-slide data-sg-content-slide data-sg-slide-text-color="white" data-sg-slide-type="text-right" aria-labelledby="slide-info slide-label-6"> <div class="sg-slide sg-slide-text-right sg-slide-white" data-sg-full-height data-sg-info-content> <div class="sg-slide-inline-image " data-sg="inline-image"> <div class="sg-slide-inline-image-wrapper"> <div class="sg-slide-inline-image-responsive-box responsive-box responsive-box--landscape"> <div class="responsive-box__content"> <img data-fixed-width-format="" width="130" height="73" title="Monowi, Nebraska (Credit: Credit: Will Francome)" alt="Monowi, Nebraska (Credit: Credit: Will Francome)" class="responsive-box__content__inner" data-caption="The great exodus (Credit: Will Francome)" data-caption-title="" data-lazy-load="true" data-src="https://web.archive.org/web/20180202105003/http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/wwfeatures/wm/live/130_73/images/live/p0/5w/62/p05w62mf.jpg" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==" data-landscape/> </div> </div> </div> <div class="caption-wrapper"> <div class="caption-lining"> <p class="caption-text caption-body">The great exodus (Credit: Will Francome)</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="sg-slide-background-wrapper"> <div class="sg-slide-background sg-slide-background-landscape" data-sg-full-height> <div data-src="https://web.archive.org/web/20180202105003oe_/http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/wwfeatures/wm/live/130_73/images/live/p0/5w/62/p05w62mf.jpg" class="sg-slide-background-image" data-fixed-width-format="" data-lazy-load="true" data-background data-landscape></div> </div> </div> <div class="sg-slide-content-wrap"> <div class="sg-slide-content-wrap-inner" data-sg-full-height> <div class="sg-slide-content sg-slide-sidebar-content" data-sg-slide-text> <div class="sg-slide-inner sg-slide-sidebar-inner"> <div class="sg-slide-inner-lining sg-slide-sidebar-inner-lining"> <h2 class="sg-slide-sidebar-title" id="slide-label-6">The great exodus</h2> <p>By the time the Monowi Tavern reopened, however, Monowi itself had already begun to shutter. As farming conditions worsened and rural economies collapsed throughout the Great Plains after World War II, entire communities in the US heartland started to disappear.</p> <p>The final funeral held in Monowi’s wooden church was for Eiler’s father in 1960. Then the post office and last of the three grocery shops closed between 1967 and 1970, followed by the school in 1974. Both of Eiler’s children moved away in search of work in the mid-1970s, and by 1980, the town’s population was down to 18. Twenty years later, Monowi’s only two inhabitants – Rudy and Eiler – were both working at the tavern. Today, Monowi is one of three incorporated towns in Boyd County, Nebraska, that has fewer than 10 residents.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="sg-slides-item" data-sg-slide data-sg-content-slide data-sg-slide-text-color="white" data-sg-slide-type="video-only" aria-labelledby="slide-info slide-label-7"> <div class="sg-slide sg-slide-video-only sg-slide-white" data-sg-full-height data-sg-info-content> <div class="sg-slide-video" data-sg-video> <div class="sg-slide-video-wrapper" data-sg-slide-contents> <div id="slide-7-p05wgs07" class=" video-player" data-video-player data-video-title="" data-video-player-vpid="p05wgs0c" data-video-player-mediator="" data-brand-color="#589e50" data-video-player-image-url="http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/wwfeatures/live/224_125/images/live/p0/5w/gs/p05wgsny.jpg" data-show-ads="true"> <noscript> <div class="warning"> <p><strong>This media cannot be played on your device.</strong></p> </div> </noscript> </div> <div class="sg-slide-video-caption"> <div class="sg-slide-video-caption-lining"> <div class="sg-slide-video-caption-text caption-body"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="sg-slides-item" data-sg-slide data-sg-content-slide data-sg-slide-text-color="white" data-sg-slide-type="text-right" aria-labelledby="slide-info slide-label-8"> <div class="sg-slide sg-slide-text-right sg-slide-white" data-sg-full-height data-sg-info-content> <div class="sg-slide-inline-image " data-sg="inline-image"> <div class="sg-slide-inline-image-wrapper"> <div class="sg-slide-inline-image-responsive-box responsive-box responsive-box--landscape"> <div class="responsive-box__content"> <img data-fixed-width-format="" width="130" height="73" title="Monowi, Nebraska (Credit: Credit: Will Francome)" alt="Monowi, Nebraska (Credit: Credit: Will Francome)" class="responsive-box__content__inner" data-caption="A sense of community (Credit: Will Francome)" data-caption-title="" data-lazy-load="true" data-src="https://web.archive.org/web/20180202105003/http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/wwfeatures/wm/live/130_73/images/live/p0/5w/62/p05w62sf.jpg" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==" data-landscape/> </div> </div> </div> <div class="caption-wrapper"> <div class="caption-lining"> <p class="caption-text caption-body">A sense of community (Credit: Will Francome)</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="sg-slide-background-wrapper"> <div class="sg-slide-background sg-slide-background-landscape" data-sg-full-height> <div data-src="https://web.archive.org/web/20180202105003oe_/http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/wwfeatures/wm/live/130_73/images/live/p0/5w/62/p05w62sf.jpg" class="sg-slide-background-image" data-fixed-width-format="" data-lazy-load="true" data-background data-landscape></div> </div> </div> <div class="sg-slide-content-wrap"> <div class="sg-slide-content-wrap-inner" data-sg-full-height> <div class="sg-slide-content sg-slide-sidebar-content" data-sg-slide-text> <div class="sg-slide-inner sg-slide-sidebar-inner"> <div class="sg-slide-inner-lining sg-slide-sidebar-inner-lining"> <h2 class="sg-slide-sidebar-title" id="slide-label-8">A sense of community</h2> <p>Eiler may live alone, but she’s far from lonely. She walks a few feet from her trailer to the tavern each morning at 9:00 (except Mondays, when she gives herself the day off) to open the bar. Most of her ‘regulars’ live within 20 to 30 miles and are people she’s known much of her life, but others drive 200 miles away from Lincoln and Omaha to check up on her.</p> <p>“It’s like one big family,” Eiler said, as she sat with a friend and worked through the crossword puzzle in the newspaper. “There are fourth- and fifth-generation customers coming in. It’s pretty neat when the people you remember as babies are now bringing their babies in to show me.”</p> <p>Like so many restaurants and bars in rural America, the Monowi Tavern essentially serves as a community living room. While Eiler cooks up hamburgers ($3.50), hot dogs ($1.25) and gizzards ($4) in the kitchen, families tack graduation notices, baptism invitations and holiday cards to the bar’s white bulletin board. People come from up to an hour away for the Sunday night Euchre card game, and Eiler doesn’t usually close up until after 21:30 when things quieten down.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="sg-slides-item" data-sg-slide data-sg-content-slide data-sg-slide-text-color="white" data-sg-slide-type="overlay-bottom-right" data-sg-slide-has-ambient-video aria-labelledby="slide-info slide-label-9"> <div class="sg-slide sg-slide-overlay-bottom-right sg-slide-white" data-sg-full-height data-sg-info-content> <div class="sg-slide-inline-image " data-sg="inline-image"> <div class="sg-slide-inline-image-wrapper"> <div class="sg-slide-inline-image-responsive-box responsive-box responsive-box--landscape"> <div class="responsive-box__content"> <img data-fixed-width-format="" width="130" height="73" title="Monowi, Nebraska (Credit: Credit: Will Francome)" alt="Monowi, Nebraska (Credit: Credit: Will Francome)" class="responsive-box__content__inner" data-caption=""There’s always somebody coming and going" (Credit: Will Francome)" data-caption-title="" data-lazy-load="true" data-src="https://web.archive.org/web/20180202105003/http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/wwfeatures/wm/live/130_73/images/live/p0/5w/62/p05w62vs.jpg" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAP///wAAACH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==" data-landscape/> </div> </div> </div> <div class="caption-wrapper"> <div class="caption-lining"> <p class="caption-text caption-body">"There’s always somebody coming and going" (Credit: Will Francome)</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="sg-slide-background-wrapper"> <div class="sg-slide-background sg-slide-background-landscape" data-sg-full-height> <div data-src="https://web.archive.org/web/20180202105003oe_/http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/wwfeatures/wm/live/130_73/images/live/p0/5w/62/p05w62vs.jpg" class="sg-slide-background-image" data-fixed-width-format="" data-lazy-load="true" data-background data-landscape></div> <video class="sg-ambient-video hidden" data-ambient-video loop mute preload="none" poster="https://web.archive.org/web/20180202105003im_/http://d5j6ar5kx5dg7.cloudfront.net/travel/bespoke/ambient-videos/monowi/toys/toys.jpg"> <source src="https://web.archive.org/web/20180202105003im_/http://d5j6ar5kx5dg7.cloudfront.net/travel/bespoke/ambient-videos/monowi/toys/toys.mp4" type="video/mp4"> <source src="https://web.archive.org/web/20180202105003im_/http://d5j6ar5kx5dg7.cloudfront.net/travel/bespoke/ambient-videos/monowi/toys/toys.webm" type="video/webm"> <source src="https://web.archive.org/web/20180202105003im_/http://d5j6ar5kx5dg7.cloudfront.net/travel/bespoke/ambient-videos/monowi/toys/toys.ogv" type="video/ogg"> </video> </div> </div> <div class="sg-slide-content-wrap sg-slide-overlay-content-wrap" data-sg-slide-text> <div class="sg-slide-content clearfix" data-sg-slide-contents> <div class="sg-slide-inner sg-slide-overlay-content"> <div class="sg-slide-inner-lining"> <div class="sg-slide-overlay-content-holder" id="slide-label-9"> <blockquote> <p>I get asked a lot if I’m lonely, and I say, ‘Well, there’s always somebody coming and going.’ I’m visiting with you right now!"

Rudy ordered a 320 sq ft shed and boxed up his 5,000 books and magazines, but died before he could complete the project.
