About Harmon School
Built in 1908 through local donations, the Harmon Schoolhouse operated as a one-teacher school for the rural community, with J. Koehler as its first teacher. Constructed of wide wooden planks with a front porch used for stage programs, it also served at times as a community chapel until it consolidated with Burton's district in 1943.
HISTORY HAPPENED HERE at Harmon School
In 1908, the Harmon Schoolhouse was built here through local donations. The first teacher at the school was J. Koehler. It continued to be a one-teacher school until 1943, when students consolidated with the burton rural school district. The schoolhouse also served as a chapel at times for the rural community. The school building was built with 12-inch planks, wooden shingles, and included a front porch for stage programs. The building had several windows and a wood heater during cold weather. Chalkboards and double desks were used in classes. The school site is on the Dietrich Family Century Farm and the only remaining structure is the school’s water well.
