Mostly a thing of the past, one-room schoolhouses used to dot the prairie in the Midwest, during the formative years of states like Minnesota and North Dakota. As the towns grew, schools often consolidated and newer, bigger buildings were built. Often the schoolhouses were simply abandoned, some were demolished, or some were repurposed into township halls, like today’s subject: The Moland Township Hall, formerly known as the “Gunderson School.”

This old school is a mile south of my grandparents farm. In fact, my dad, his brothers and sister attended school here, until it was time to go on to high school in near by Glyndon.
