About Brown's Prairie School and Building
Community members in Washington County erected a combined church and school building at Brown's Prairie in 1888, with the Reverend David Buchmueller serving as pastor and teacher. A six-room wooden school replaced it by 1911, and Works Progress Administration funds financed a rebuilding in 1939. Known as Washington School, it closed after the 1950-51 year.
HISTORY HAPPENED HERE at Brown's Prairie School and Building
In 1888, a church and school building was erected in a central location at newly-divided Brown's Prairie, with the Reverend David Buchmueller as pastor and teacher. By 1911, a new wooden six-room school building was used each Sunday, with one teacher for six grades. In 1939, the wooden school was replaced using WPA funds, constructed by architect Travis Broesche and stone mason Carl Whitmarsh. In the 1940s, the Brown's Prairie School was referred to as Washington School, and after the 1950-51 school year, all students were transferred to Brenham after its annexation into the district.
