Northeast Franklin County – LeLoup School [Northeast Franklin County, December 2009]

– December 29, 2009

This is an old school building in LeLoup, Kansas, built in 1916. LeLoup (“wolf” in French) is nearly a ghost town, with only a few, mostly dilapidated, houses left. The town prospered in the early 1900′s and was once the home of the Modern Woodmen of America Association picnic, an annual summer event where families gathered for games, contests and picnics in the grove by Wolf Creek.

About DirtBum

I enjoy riding bicycles all over -- city streets, suburbia, rural roads, gravel roads, dirt roads, rail-trails, and singletrack. I love exploring the countryside and finding the interesting and historical treasures hidden in plain site.
