HISTORY

This was the first public building constructed in Gunlock. It was started in 1880 and school was begun in 1881 even before it was finished. "The Old Schoolhouse" as it was called was used for both school and church until 1912. At various times, one or two teachers held classes in this building.

In 1912, the school was moved to a new church building.
