Molson School by

Posted in Architecture

This building is now a museum. I went to school here for first grade and half way through second grade. This school served the families from a few small farming communities and the surrounding farms in the Okanogan highlands in north central Washington. From the time it was built in the early 1900s through the early 1960s it had 1st through 12th. The upper floors of the building had become unstable, so through the 60s, it was only 1st through 6th grades and we were not allowed to go any higher than the second floor. From about 1969 through sometime in the 1980s, it sat vacant. Then the Okanogan Highlands Historical Society opened it up as a museum. The classrooms are set up as if waiting for the kids to start class. There is a small gift shop in the library/music room and the gymnasium in the basement houses historical farm equipment from around the area.
