Notes: 1840's - 1958. The first Nessa school was built of
logs in the 1840s on Knudt Olson Nessa’s farm. It was located in
the NW corner of the SW¼
of the NW¼ of
Section 34. In 1870, a second school was built 20 rods south of the
original school. The new school was made out of local stone. In 1908
the third Nessa School was built just north of the existing school,
very near the site of the original 1840s school. It was a frame
structured. The Nessa School closed on July 1, 1958 and families in
the area close to the Green County line became part of the New Glarus
School District. In 2014 Nessa School was a private residence at
8706 Nessa Road.
