As a twist, I decided to dig out my old magazines and flipped through a "find your dream farm" article written in 2008. I decided to check on some of the links and see if any of the sites might still be active and have new information for me and I discovered that many towns in Kansas appear to STILL be giving away free lots to families who wish to build a home in their communities.
A search shows me that the last time the MJF boards discussed this was in 2005.
Perhaps this is the overlooked answer to someone's dream:

Always a problem, but land wasn't even free when I lived in the boonies of northern Nevada, 3 hours from anything at all. I pretty much assumed free land ended in the Oklahoma land race.
It might also work for someone that has a good business idea like a sewing cafe' or something that provides "something for people to do".

I remember reading about this too and thought it would be a good idea if you were self employed and didn't need to look for a job in these little communities or if you were retired or otherwise didn't need to work. That's the trouble with these little towns, they are too far away from a bigger community that might have more jobs. But gee! Free land?
