Bloomfield, Montana is a small agriculture community. There are a couple of houses, a school and the Post Office. Notice that a home is attached to the right side of this Post Office.
The last census said there were 200 people in the extended community. The town is about 23 miles from Glendive, Montana and about 70 miles from Sydney, Montana. And that distance is on paved roads! The 2010-2011 enrollment for the school was 8 students.

This hay bale was sitting on the playground. The side windows are photographs encased in plastic. I assume they are of the current students. The driver is also a photograph - my guess it is their teacher. I thought this was a clever display.
One room schools are alive and well in Montana.
