ROCKVALE SCHOOL HOUSE
2005-07-23 14:51:00
The Rockvale school was built sometime between 1900 and 1905 (former students and area history books don't pinpoint an exact date). The school was closed in 1948, when the population of western La Plata County an area known as the Dryside declined and Hay Gulch students began attending an elementary school at the old Fort Lewis College campus south of Hesperus.Rockvale teachers arrived at the schoolhouse to fire up the coal heater and warm the schoolhouse before class started at 8 a.m. The school day, which lasted until about 4 p.m., mainly consisted of the basic academics: reading, writing, math and social studies with short recesses in the morning and afternoon and an hour for lunch. Windows and kerosene lamps lit the school until electricity came to Hay Gulch in the 1940s.When I (Luthe

Durango Herald Online: "Galloping Goose railcar "LUTHER BUTLER'S EARLY MEMORIES OF LA PLATA COUNTYCABIN EAST OF MANCOSOn November 14, 1929, my parents were returning to La Plata County after a year in Cleburne, Texas trying to sell a boxcar or two of Delicious apples grown in northern New Mexico and southern Colorado. Their journey was halted in Alamosa, Colorado by my birth in a Luthern Hospital. From this hospital, I got my name. I'm thankful they didn't make it to La Plata County for my birth since the hospital in Durango, county seat, was Mercy Hospital. Luther is hard enough to bear, but think of a name like Mercy!Before my birth, my father had owned a music and a Singer Sewing Machine store in Durango. Many times he had taken land in trade for merchandise so when he returned to La Pl

Do you want to know from the Dry Side road, from our old home place, or the beginning of the road up on the highway? I'm sure Burr will want to know from where to start.
