This historic schoolhouse, built in 1926 and expanded in the late 1930s, was the center of the Cedar Grove community, and after a complete restoration in 2019 still serves the area today [most recently as the Cedar Grove Opry]. The school closed in 1970.
If you’re of a certain age [like me], you remember these old merry-go-rounds from your school playground. This one still works.
This was likely the teacherage [teacher’s housing].
I won a talent contest there about 1950 singing Elvis “Can’t help falling in love with you”. I lived about 10 miles up the road in Dodge County💚
The old playground merry-go-round is a sight for sore eyes. I remember one on our playground that looked the same. Many a kid went flying from the thing when speed was ramped up too fast.
we still are operating the building every 3rd Saturday night 6-9 pm live Country & Gospel music. Come join us
