Dewey School Museum

The current school, built in 1884, reused materials from the original structure and added new brick from Beeman Brickyard after a floor collapse. It functioned as a modern school until 1956 when former pupils bought it for $1 from Stockbridge Agricultural Schools. They formed a historical association, later incorporated into the Waterloo Area Historical Society's Museum in 1966. Today, the Dewey School Museum offers tours in spring and fall, providing insights into 19th-century rural education.
