Sheldon School

ATTEND SCHOOL IN DAKOTA TERRITORY
The Sheldon Country School was built in 1884 and the first session of school was held in the spring of 1885. The school had few facilities. Children brought their own books; some borrowed books from siblings or shared books with other students. Children took turns carrying drinking and washing water to the school from the nearest farm a quarter of a mile away. The school also served as a community center.
