Reused Schools |
| |
| Links to examples of reused
historic schools are listed below. Many historic schools in
Minnesota and throughout the United States have been successfully
reused. Throughout the history of the United States, schools have
played very important social, cultural and historical roles. In
small towns that role is even more important due to the local need
for cultural exploration, exposure to fine arts and adult education.
As a result, performances, concerts, athletic games and other events
held at Kasson's historic 1918 School were social and cultural
hi-lights particularly before television became prevalent in the
1950s. Overall the school has played a major role throughout the
history of Kasson in helping to define and rally the community.
While the Kasson has many churches, it only has one school system
which tends to unite people. The emotional blow and the loss of
community following the permanent closing and potential demolition
of the beloved 1918 Public School will be immense. The communities
below have chosen to preserve this important component of their
town's history. |
