Hazel Glen school was moved to Ellston and restored as a rural school museum.

 

 

On the side of Hazel Glen School is a sign reading, "Key Stone 1912, Mt. Ayr School." Below this sign is a cornerstone engraved "1912." Hazel Glen School was moved from its original site to Mount Ayr school grounds where it was used as a classroom until 1979. It was moved to the Pioneer Center at Ellston where it was restored. The school is open during the summer on Sunday afternoons from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. and when the museum complex is open, or by appointment.
