| Science Mound School |
No trip of mine would be complete without finding an old school or 3. Fortunately the Donalda area has many old schools as well as old houses and buildings down just about any gravel road you take. This area never disappoints. The only thing that I couldn't control was the weather....had to cut the trip short but still satisfied with the things I did get to see when I wasn't blinded by snow all up in my grill.
This wins my favourite school of the day. It is called Science Mound. It was reportedly named after a nearby hill, but I couldn't see a hill anywhere I looked. The school operated from 1905-1954, then it was sold to the Science Mound Community Club in 1956. It was used into the 90's, by my friend Tim's recollection, which is also around the time it got the new red roof. You can see there was a vestibule on the front at one time. Now the paint is peeling, the wood has holes and the rock foundation needs some TLC. Sadly, I don't imagine that any work will be done on this old timer.

There are other schools in the area that I have blogged about previously so I won't post them again but here are the links to them in case you need to see more schools!
Up To Date School,
Skybo School and
Wanda School.
Also on the way home I stopped by to see my old friend Rutherford. It was summer last time I drove by so here is a current photo.
Thanks again to Tim for being my exploring buddy! Next blog post will be abandoned houses in the Donalda area. Ooooh ahhh!
Thanks for visiting my blog and have a great weekend.
