Geocache Description:

One-room schools were commonplace throughout rural portions of Pipestone County in the late 19th and early 20th centuries


This district was approved on August 16, 1920. The school was known as Central School, as it was located right in the center of the township. When the school was closed, students were transported to Verdi. This school building and the two acre site were purchased by the township on February 20, 1956 for $800. The schoolhouse was not moved from its original location but turned into the Fountain Prairie Township Hall. Township board meetings, all elections, and meeting of Prairie-Grangers 4-H Club were held in the former schoolhouse. The township did eventually tear down the old school and they built a new building at the same location for their hall. For more information about all the country schools located in Pipestone County please feel free to visit the Pipestone County Museum. This is a small container just holding a log, so bring your own writing tool.
