Originally built on or near the corner of 52 Avenue and 3 Street East, this little schoolhouse has had to endure two moves, the two moves occurring about three quarters of a century apart.
Due to rapid growth of the town a new and much larger school was built in Claresholm in 1907, with this one being moved 18 miles to the northeast to serve as a rural school. In 1939 it was closed and later returned to Claresholm to become part of the museum.
