Old School Bed & Breakfast, Arnegard, North Dakota
Go Ahead . . . . . . Sleep In Class. On March 24, 1914 a special election was held in the city of Arnegard for the purpose of voting on the erection of a new school building. The voters cast an affirmative nod and land was purchased the following month. In the May 28, 1914 issue of the Arnegard Call, bids for the well, stone for the foundation and the building itself were called for.
In 1963, due primarily to declining enrollment, the county elected to close the high school. Elementary classes were held at the school until 1976 when the school was closed for good. A short time later, the building was deeded over to the city of Arnegard. Some time after that, the city deeded the building and a portion of the school grounds to a group known as The Friends and Alumni of the Old School. During the period that this group owned the facility, there was a roller skating rink, rural library and meeting areas located within the building.
In 1998, the building was sold to the current owner, Milton Hanson, who has close ties to the community. It has undergone a great deal of restoration and renovation for the purpose of housing a Bed & Breakfast.
