These photos present a glimpse of schools not all that long ago. I don't ever recall the Bosler Consolidated School being open, and Bosler itself has been barely there my entire life. My guess would be that this school must have been closed at least as far back at some date in the 1970s, and probably prior to that. But, based on its brick construction, I'd also guess that this school dates no further back than the 1920s. Bosler must have been more of a going concern at that time, and it was more of one in the early 20th Century. Now, it's just a small location on State Highway 287 just before you get to Laramie. No doubt the number of kids attending here dropped down to a small number and then the school simply closed, with the students being bused either to Laramie or Rock River.
There must be a lot of little schools like this. Well built buildings from an era when transportation wasn't as good or sure, and when there were more people in the little towns.
