They’re romantic, nostalgic, mournful, provocative – the sight of a once charismatic building now forlorn and crumbling, a slice of the past now tentatively standing amidst its own shambles is both haunting and humbling, and yet entrancing. Idaho’s uniquely undeveloped landscape is full of these neglected homages to history, which sit quietly. In other states, these decaying beauties would be demolished and to make way for condos, shopping plazas, and mini-marts, but not here in the Gem State.</span></p><p style="border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; position: relative; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 1.5;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Our ghost towns are full of unique and quirky spaces that teem with the past – saloons, general stores, cemeteries… Yet, these old mining camps and their long-gone communities weren’t the only thing that kept Idaho thriving. Outside of these areas was a separate world that embraced the simplicity of rural life. The remnants? Historic, independent schoolhouses left behind as Idaho continued to grow and localize.</span></p><p style="border: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; position: relative; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 1.5;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Today, you can take pay a visit to dozens of these historic schoolhouses by taking an “official” North Idaho <a href="http://kooskia.com/documents/SchoolHouseTrip.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">self-guided tour</a>.
