![]() ![]() ![]() This church was reportedly a Seventh Day Adventist church, and it is now in very tenuous condition. There are various foundations hidden in the tall grass on the former Deisem townsite, though, remnants of a town now lost. We were on site for about a half-hour on a Saturday afternoon, and we didn’t see a single car pass by.Īccording to reports by fans on our Facebook page, Deisem was quite a happening town back in the day, and was home to a well-respected general store, which is long gone. We arrived to discover this church is all that remains of Deisem. We discovered what was once a bright yellow line dividing two very narrow lanes is now barely visible, and gravel pokes through the asphalt in places. ![]() Driving through LaMoure County just south of Jamestown, we turned onto what can only loosely be described as a “highway” - Highway 34, northwest of Edgeley. So in July 2012, with my business partner and fellow photographer Terry Hinnenkamp, we set out for Deisem. One of the suggestions we’ve received on more than one occasion is a place called Deisem, N.D. Since starting a website about North Dakota’s ghost towns and abandoned places nearly ten years ago, suggestions about places to visit have been rolling in. ![]() The doorway of the old church frames the farm scene across the road. ![]()
