CISCO, Utah (AP) — An artist is trying to revitalize an abandoned railroad town in eastern Utah by refurbishing buildings and converting them into residences for artists.

KUTV reports that artist Eileen Muza is the sole resident of Cisco, a scattering of old buildings in the high desert 30 miles west of the Colorado line. It was created in the 1880s as a fill-station for a railroad that connected Utah to Colorado. The town was abandoned when Interstate 70 was built a few miles north.

Muza first became fascinated by the town when she visited it while on vacation. She purchased it in 2015 and left Chicago.

She is fixing up the buildings so other artists can work from them in a residency project she calls: “Home of the Brave.”
