The dream of Jennie Milk Conrad was to build up a thriving town she named for her family. She named the park she platted after her son, and streets for herself, her mother, her husband and other unidentified persons, Once part of a 7,000-acre tract, the remains of the village of Conrad are a ghost town two miles from Lake Village.
