From the Museum web site:

In 1988, due to state and federal safety concerns, the school was abandoned by Nebo School District and the students were moved to newer schools in the city. When the property was returned to Payson City, the city wanted to demolish the beautiful, old building and put the grounds to other uses. Larry Brown and Dr. Gordon Taylor led a group of citizens and formed People Preserving Peteetneet to save the historical building from the wrecker's ball. It was this concerned citizens group who took a stand to preserve this beautiful edifice.

During the first few years of the restoration, it was not uncommon for many members of the committee and other volunteers to work 8-16 hour days helping to restore and maintain Peteetneet. They were willing to do hard manual work to help restore the building to its original beauty. There is a video showing the restoration that is available on the internet at http://www.peteetneetmuseum.org . Through the efforts of Dr. Taylor grant monies were obtained to help with the restoration of the building. Today, Peteetneet (People Preserving Peteetneet) is operated as a nonprofit organization. All donations to the Peteetneet Museum and Cultural Arts Center are tax deductible to the individual donors.

Today the Historic Peteetneet Museum and Cultural Arts Center represents an ongoing act of love expressed by the community to all visitors. Not only is it the restoration and preservation of a beautiful historic school building, but it is a gathering place for children andcadults who want to enjoy the facility and what it has to offer. During 2012, volunteers donated almost 12,000 hours of their time to share Peteetneet with the many visitors to the facility. The museum and cultural arts center was host to over 34,000 visitors during the same year.
