The Long Creek School was moved in May 2023 to the back yard of the Washington County Museum. The board of the Museum, along with donors and many community businesses, have given their money, skills and time to see it restored. It will be re-opened March 26 to honor the area’s pioneer ancestors. The ribbon cutting will take place at 9:30 a.m. Tours and refreshments will be available.

The Long Creek School is one of Washington County’s earliest one-room “county” schools. Located 4 miles west of town, it educated the children of early pioneers from 1877 up to the 1960s. Over time, enrollment dwindled, country schools were consolidated, and in 1969 Long Creek School was merged into the Blair School District.
