Part 5/9:
Like most small towns, Walden has had its local businesses affected by the rise of big-box stores like Walmart. The traditional grocery store has transformed into a feed store, and the local theater, Scott Theater, continues to showcase movies, maintaining a nostalgic link to the past. The town's economy has shifted toward antique stores, pawn shops, and small retail outlets.
Community Structures & Educational Institutions
Moving into more recent developments, Walden has an elementary school, a middle school, and a high school all grouped within one area, allowing convenient access for students and parents. Nearby facilities include a golf course and a nature area where wildflowers are cultivated, offering recreational opportunities amid the town's scenic landscape.
