Morning Star School



This not so little pioneer school sits on the edge of a farmer's field south of Burdett, Alberta.

I talked with a local man and he said it was originally faced with brick and that his dad had gone to school here.  After the school closed it was reinforced to be used as a granary but now sits empty.


A friend had mentioned to me that the sign was missing last time he had been here.  I think someone had just taken the metal sign to be refinished because now it looks like new.


The building is in its last stage of retirement.


The latest tenant.


The bell tower and flagpole are still intact.
