stepped in time

hey guys,
just looking for an idiomatic expression or any other expression / phrase when one tries to depict a town that looks like the same town 50 years ago. Like coming back in time.

i was thinking about the phrase stepped in time but having looked it up, i cannot match it with the required meaning.

The town was stepped in time.
Does this sentence make any sense at all?

I would say lost in time "lost" would work.

The town was stepped in time. I think you mean steeped in time.

I tried to forward a link but it didn't work. Google "steeped in time" and note the article on 'Landscapes that are steeped in time.' (the fourth hit)

It may look like it is stuck in time, or perhaps like a throwback to the past.
