Reed School
Reed School, built in 1915, served as a one-room country school through 1951. It provided a first- through eighth-grade education with only one teacher. The school is typical of the more than 6,000 one-room schools that dotted the landscape of rural Wisconsin. This type of school formed the basis of the educational system for rural children in the 19th and first half of the 20th century. Reed School offers visitors a unique interpretation of country school life by focusing on the first half of the 20th century, specifically 1939. Most similar museums focus on 19th-century education. Come explore Reed School. See one of the finest examples of rural education in Wisconsin's history.

The camp site contains some of the old buildings which were part of the farm such as the old Hog Barn which now serves as a Petting oral, the Blacksmith Shop which is now a part of the Museum and the old Slaughter House. In the distance is the old Boarding house and several original barns, as well as the “Woods Boss’s House”. Your ticket is not only for the train ride but also into the logging camp where you can wander around and get the feel of what it was like for the loggers that spent so much of their lives living here.
