This little town is on US18 between McGregor and Monona, a bit over a half-mile west of the junction with US52. The school was built in 1866 and was originally on a knoll nearby, and then moved not far to a local farm at the end of the 1953-1954 school year. Years later it was moved into Froelich to be part of a historical collection. There is still writing on the blackboard from the last day of school, and the original furnishings are still inside.
The following photos were posted on the wall of the school to show how it was moved to its present location. I thought they were quite interesting so I am posting them here. I believe the first shot was at its original location on the knoll, while the rest are of it being moved from the farm.
