Schoolhouses of the NW Arkansas Ozarks

Dripping Springs Schoolhouse - Located about 4.25 miles north of Boston, AR via Madison Co 3175 to 3415, then SE on Madison Co 3500, just past the intersection of Madison Co 3415 / 3500. Built in 1921, and still hanging on.<br />
<br />
The building has seen better days. The isolated location, proximity to a popular swimming hole on the upper Kings River and the nearby Kings River Falls Natural Area are mixed blessings -- it's easy to drive to, but the schoolhouse and remaining outbuildings are occasional targets for vandalism.<br />
