This school building is one of the many projects of the Peterson Lions Club.  It is one of the first frame country schoolhouses built in Clay County.  Originally standing in the northwest quarter of Peterson Township, it was closed when the consolidation came and moved to the C.B. Reed farm to be used as garage and tool shed.  In 1963, Mr. & Mrs. Reed presented it to the Peterson Lions Club for restoration.  Authentically restored and furnished, this is one of the delights of the grade school tours conducted by Heritage in the spring and fall.

 

This school joins others in the state for the restored one room schools.  It portrays a glimpse into the past and gives us a sense of how classes were taught.
