Floyd 9 School |
In 1935 Dick Wasnick bought the school and it moved it to his farm where it was used as a wash house and later remodeled into a garage. In 1983 Mr. Wasnick donated the property to the Prairie Arts Council. It was restored as a schoolhouse in 1988-1991. Its intended use was to be used as an art classroom. Miss Elizabeth Den Hartog suggested that it become a museum of early country school education. The community then donated the desks, school books, equipment, etc.
The building is now used as a country school museum. Area schools are encouraged to bring their classes for a "Day of Country School." A volunteer is on hand to tell them about the structure of the school day and the games the children played.
