The original school was built very early in the town's history. It burned and was replaced early in the twentieth century by a new school, which still stands today. In 2005-2006 it was acquired by the Friends of the Fredricksons and was restored, and now houses the Old Schoolhouse Gallery, operated by Libby Scott.
Known former students:
Hazel and Edith Frederickson. Vernon Oie, Jr. Now (2007) a summer resident of Star Lake. Attended about two years in the 1920's.
