Description
"Little Schoolhouse on the Prairie"
This idyllic one-room schoolhouse rests on a beautiful hillside site above the Tasker coulee which flows slowly by below it (NW of Minot near Burlington in Ward County). I can find little information on this school, except what I linked to in a comment (Kirkelie Township school). I think the children back in the 40's and 50's (?) must have loved coming to this beautiful place from the surrounding farms for their classes. I can almost envision them fishing in the coulee during recess breaks in spring and fall, and then ice-skating upon it in the winter. It is sad that this school, and history will soon fall to ruin - it seems like it could have been so easily converted into a special little place/park for community gatherings, picnics, etc. Another image, viewed from above is also available (search for same title)
