The little community of Lycurgus is about six miles northeast of Waukon on State Route 9. There is a Catholic Church on that corner of Lycurgus Rd. However, to find this school you need to drive about a mile to the next road, which is French Creek Rd. The school sits back just a bit from the northeast corner, with an electric power station in front of it. This huge stone structure has a second floor with another room. The school was built ca.1870. It was still in operation ca.1940 because I found information on the ‘net about someone attending there.
