Summary
Locating rural school buildings in the sparsely populated Sandhills was always challenging. The District #119 North School is a wonderful example of how Sheridan County met this challenge during the mid-20th century. In 1951, local carpenter, Torville Erickson, utilized materials from another school to construct this tiny school building. The building was fixed on two metal skids so it could easily be moved to serve shifting school age populations. It was located on the Bud Wilson Ranch and Munger Ranch, until it was moved to Ellsworth in 1961.
