District: Joint 6
Notes: 1865-1959. On September 12, 1865 Ernest Bohn
leased about one-half an acre of his land in Section 28 to the school
district for use as a school. The oldest school record extant is
from September 1867. On July 30, 1892 it was voted to build a new
schoolhouse on the same site. It was to be 18x32x10 feet and cost
$586.49 paid for over a period of three years. Pupils came from Vermont as well as Blue Mounds Township. The school closed on May 26, 1959
when the district joined the Mt. Horeb School District. The building
which had been located on the west side of Bohn Rd. in Section 28 was
torn down in 1975. Some foundation remnants of that building can
still be seen during the winter and spring months when the leaves are
off the trees.
