The Washington County Historical Society is excited to announce a Washington County Rural School Reunion for anyone who attended a one-room/tworoom school anywhere in the county.
Washington County had 79 rural school districts and one joint district with Chisago County. These districts were slowly consolidated during the 1940s & 1950s until all of them were closed by the early 1960s. Today only a few of the Washington County rural schools still standing including the Hay Lake School in Scandia, Eder School in Oakdale, Valley School in Denmark Township and the Hopkins school in Hugo.
The reunion will be held on Saturday, Sept. 24, 2022 from Noon – 4:00 p.m. at the Hay Lake School Museum. All are welcomed from all Washington County Rural Schools. Stop by and share your stories, photographs and memories of an era gone past.
No reservations are required. Cake and lemonade will be served.
For questions, contact susan. [email protected] or visit the Hay Lake School and Erickson Log House Museum on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from Noon – 4:00 p.m.
