We made our first visit yesterday (Saturday) to the Nome Schoolhouse to check out their Makers Mart featuring vendors of handmade items. I’ve been wanting to enter and see the school where my dad and many of his siblings attended for a few years. Upon entering I made the wooden stairs squeak and groan like any of the buildings of this type but must say the owners have done a great job in making the over-one hundred year place presentable and usable. One room housed a collection of interesting artifacts. I wanted to verify the age of the building and a couple of men were standing in there. One was looking at an old 1928 Barnes county atlas opened to Raritan Township. He asked my name and said “Right there is where Buelings used to live on Carl Lindemann’s place.” Turned out he knew quite a few stories about my family. The building was filled with vendors and the dining room served light lunch. A couple of live alpacas stood in their pen, too. Included are a few pictures.
