Ludlow Township #4

From Waukon, proceed south on SR9, and then when SR9 turns west, proceed about 5.5 miles to Poleline Road (one mile west of SR51)(one mile east of the county line), and then turn south.  Proceed two miles to Countryside Road, and the school is on the NW corner of the intersection.  (A state patrolman told us about this school after we stopped to ask him for information about Lycurgus School.)

Howard School

Built in 1896, this school is about three miles northeast of Waukon on SR9, one mile northeast of CR A44, at the intersection of Howard Road.  It sits on the SW corner. It is now being used as a garage, very nicely kept up.

Lycurgus School

The little community of Lycurgus is about six miles northeast of Waukon on State Route 9.  There is a Catholic Church on that corner of Lycurgus Rd.  However, to find this school you need to drive about a mile to the next road, which is French Creek Rd.  The school sits back just a bit from the northeast corner, with an electric power station in front of it.  This huge stone structure has a second floor with another room.  The school was built ca.1870.  It was still in operation ca.1940 because I found information on the ‘net about someone attending there.

Franklin Township #?, The Red School

This school was built in 1874, and was painted red in 1883.  The school operated until 1967.  It was moved to the Allamakee County Fairgrounds in 1978.  The fairgrounds are located on the east side of SR9, on the north side of Waukon.

These next photos were taken by holding the camera above the the curtains in the back windows.  For a fairly short guy like me, it was a tip-toe operation!

Round Prairie #4, Hanson School

On the south edge of Waukon, on SR9 among the collection of buildings, railroad cars and such next to the Sweeny House of Clocks Museum.  Built in 1886 and used until 1968.  No information as to where it was relocated from.

These next shots were taken by shooting between curtains on the only two windows with the curtains parted a bit!
