Abandoned Prairie School 3001 A (Explored)
Abandoned school on Stage Road, a half-mile from the historic Hat Creek Stagecoach Station, northeast of Lusk, Wyoming in Niobrara County.
I couldn’t find any information online about the school, but it must be old, with the water pump and the horse hitching post in the yard.
This was along one of the most dangerous parts of the Cheyenne-Deadwood stagecoach line, established when gold was discovered in the Black Hills in 1874. Highway robberies and attacks by Indians defending their land were common, and the Army established a small post nearby to protect miners traveling along the road.
After shooting the school, I saw some nice shots at the station, but unfortunately it started pouring rain.
