Return Visit to Garness Township School


I found this schoolhouse by chance on a road trip through North Dakota in late November of 2018.  


Since I was travelling through the area again quite recently I decided to revisit "the little school on a hill."


It seems to be hanging on quite nicely.

Hamlet School

An abandoned school in Hamlet, North Dakota.

From the sheer size it must have been a consolidated school...and awfully impressive in its heyday.

Saint Bernard in Fortuna


Last time I stopped here was late October 2017.  Now maybe a little worse for wear but Saint Bernard Catholic Church is still standing.

Jailhouse


The old jail in Flaxville, Montana.


Remember that song, "He's in the jailhouse now, he's in the jailhouse now..."
