On Mississippi River Road/Great River Road south of Montrose, north of 320th St, just at the curve at the river. It was Iowa’s first school house, built in 1830. Very small. The original was cut up for firewood, and a replica was built in 1940 but which is now about 20ft under water due to the dam at Keokuk. This replica was built in 1977.
The following photo, via Val Root, shows what the original looked like.
