This is a White wooden structure built in the mid 1920's with a basement for the heating unit. When the School was closed in the early sixties the students were divided between the Phillips and Prentice school districts.
The building is now use as the Hackett town hall.
The Hackett Town Hall's Post Office is in Phillips, WI.
Enterprise school was the last of the one-room schools built in the Town of Hackett and the last to close. It was built on two acres purchased by District #1 from Carl and Amy Beyer, deeded in 1920, and the school opened for the 1921-22 school year. In 1942 it received electrical service. When consolidation started in the 1950's Enterprise school merged with the Prentice School District and the other two schools in the Town of Hackett merged with the Phillips School District. In 1966 the Building was returned to the Town of Hackett and is still used today as the Hackett Town Hall.
