With August and September the months of back to school, here’s a revisit of three former schools, now hotels where we’ve stayed.

School buildings close for a variety of reasons. In Regent, North Dakota, the town has lost 40% of its population since 1990. The high school closed as Regent consolidated its school district with the town of Mott.

Gary Geff, the artist and creator of the Enchanted Highway, a series of scrap metal sculptures along a 32-mile stretch of a state road west of Bismark recognized opportunity. He turned the former high school into a 19 room hotel with a medieval themed ambiance. The Enchanted Castle includes the original gym, a fitness room, and classrooms that have been turned into spacious guest rooms.

The Excalibur Steakhouse and the Tavern serve up American style fare. A continental breakfast is included in the room rates that range from $99 to $135 plus tax.

The trip down the Enchanted Highway to see “Teddy Rides Again”, “The Tin Family” and “Fisherman’s Dream,” three of the scrap metal sculptures is well worth it. The Enchanted Castle ensures there is an unusual place to stay.

In 1889, the Washington Schoolhouse opened in Park City, Utah.
