Shamrock
Colorado
Located at the far eastern end of 104th
ave, the town of Shamrock has almost disappeared. The county has a road shop there and that
pretty much keeps the little town on the map.
When I went through the area years ago, there
were a few buildings still standing.
Today, a schoolhouse is still there, the county building and a couple of
homes. The one room school is gone as
are the other stores.
The school house that still stands, appears to be
a storage shed and well maintained. Even
the flag pole was in use, displaying Old Glory.
South of the town is a WWII memorial, in the
empty field. During WWII a bomber
training flight from Lowery crashed in the field. A Memorial was built and dedicated to the
crew of the crashed bomber. It appears
to have a caretaker, the flags are replaced and ground, cared for.
