Many of the homes were not owned by the occupants. When it came time to move them, they were offered the opportunity to buy the house for $1.00.

They would then have to arrange to move them at their own expense. Many businesses were also moved.

It was quite an achievement considering the equipment available in the 1920's and 1930's. Not all the buildings survived the journey.
