When I am bored I look at maps and read local history books.
I read about Cornucopia School in a book and looked it up on a map, it appeared to still be there so I had to go check it out for myself. A certain blogger friend of mine was in the area before me and confirmed it was there but still, I needed to go myself.
Cornucopia School was open from 1911-1945. It reopened in 1946 for correspondence courses. When It permanently closed it looks like it became a granary. It is nice to see it still on it's original site.
One student knowing that cornucopia means plenty or abundance of something, said it must refer to the amount of mosquitoes and gophers. Some things will never change.
