In September 2007, the Plymouth County Coordinator, Linda Ziemann, took this photo of an old schoolhouse located on a farm property located 8 miles west, 2 miles south of Hinton, Iowa. This old building sits on the building site of the farm located 1 1/2 miles south of the SW corner of Section 8. No one was home and I did take the liberty of taking this photo. I was told that there is talk of "torching" the building after the harvest is finished 2007.

This school was moved a couple of times, I was told. The school was orginally located East of Hinton. After researching the early township maps, it is assumed that very likely this was Hungerford No. 4, NW corner of Section 15.
